After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

However, my boss wants to switch his wordpress theme (via my insistence and assistance). However, he wants me to do it. Cool no problem, 2012 I can figure it out. I however have never run a wordpress site that wasn't a sitename.wordpress.com site.
Here are my questions:
1. Are all files installed via web or do I have to access the main frame computer?

2. Can we edit a theme from two different computer? Meaning can I link up his wordpress database to my computer. Or is this unnecessary b/c it's all installed online?

Basically, I am not 100% clear on how a wordpress site works. I know that on dreamweaver you can connect multiple computers, word offline, then upload to the site. But wordpress isn't my strong suit.

HELP! Thanks so much for your time and sorry for the silly question.

This is the first time posting in the forum after spending hours searching through wordpress theme templates and external sites too, to find a theme to adapt to our blog. We really hope someone can help us :)

We're looking for a theme VERY similar to chunk (we love the style, but it's lacking flexibility for content). The variations we want are:

A three column theme for:
1. Recent Posts
2. A menu area (of pictures that people can click on rather than a drop down menu)
3. Widgets - so our Facebook 'like' and twitter feed are much more accesible.

Does anybody know of any themes out there that are like this, or know where we could get something like this?

Thanks so much for reading and any help you can offer :)
