Click the arrows either side of the preview to navigate, you can also use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys.

The previews are also responsive, so you can resize themes to see what they would look like on a smaller device (phone/tablet)

I don't get this, I only see one theme and I can't find a button to find something else? Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry to hijack, but I literally just launched something very similar:

http://www.themebeacon.com/

I even posted about it to HN the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7888745) but it seemed to vanish in about 30 seconds...

It just seems to be a bunch of ads/demos for themeforest themes with your affiliate id - or am I missing something?

My 2 cents: cannot filter by number of columns or left/right sidebar, and results are wayyy to slow to check out (it would be better to be shown small screenshots and decide which theme you actually want to try live)

Just hit the arrows to the right / left of the preview, you can also use the left/right arrow keys to navigate.
