Hello Glen,
Thanks a lot for looking into this, I was waiting for some responses for
improvements. The icons you mentioned are already being used in one of
the themes of roller "fauxcoly" that is why I used them in my theme
also. I will rename the name of the theme to "gaurav" as you are right
the other themes can be responsive in future.
Also, I will commit some more changes, as some minor issues I found
during testing of the theme again and again. Also, that will be good for
now that if you can add a link to the Roller Wiki and when the theme
usage become increases we can add this to roller anytime in future.
Please give me 1-2 days more for final review of the theme, then you can
test it. As I don't want to waste your time if you find any minor issues
in it.
Thanks
Gaurav

I don't think we can distribute these icons unfortunately:
https://github.com/gauravsaini03/roller-theme/tree/master/icons, as
they aren't Apache licensable. Probably best to keep your theme
separate, and just have us add a link to it on the Roller Wiki. I
also don't like its name "Responsive", as that's subjective and makes
it difficult for us to include other "responsive" themes, as well as
implies that the other's aren't responsive (if they aren't, they may
be someday improved.) Apache CXF made that mistake when it named one
of its frontend, should-be-deprecated, options "Simple", implying that
the other frontend options aren't simple, well-designed, shouldn't be
used, etc. Calling your theme "gaurav" would probably be much
better--just don't give it a name that makes the others look bad.
Once a theme gets heavy usage then it may be a candidate for inclusion
in Roller trunk, but right now most of our themes are kept in the
Roller-themes project, external to the project. Roller is 10 years
old, if we included everybody's themes in the main distribution (not
wanting to hurt anyone's feelings by saying any particular theme isn't
all that good) we'd have 47 themes to juggle, most of which would be
donated and then ignored, a maintenance nightmare. If your theme is
good and people like it, they'll keep going to your blog or your
GitHub instance to get it--what's not to like?
If you'd like to submit patches towards becoming a committer, please
check our JIRA for open issues. In the meantime, I'll try to look at
your theme (it's probably quite nice), I just haven't had the chance yet.
Regards,
Glen

Hello,
I have designed a new responsive roller theme using bootstrap. The
advantage of responsiveness is that we can have same theme
compatible on different devices and screens.
Link- https://github.com/gauravsaini03/roller-theme
I want some reviews from the community to improve this theme, so we
can add this to next revision of roller. I have tested this theme
with Roller 5.1-SNAPSHOT and its working perfectly fine. Although
I am still working on it, to add some more widgets in the Sidebar.
One issue while designing the page for archive is that all the html
comes from Java code (BigWeblogCalendarModel.java), so their are
less we can do to this. We can improve the archive section, with
some innovative way as in calender theme we have limitation that we
cant see the blogs of previous year. There must be some tree like
structure of the archive section.
What you say ?
Thanks
Gaurav
