Impossible? Wordpress Blog Date Layout like Joomla Zoo Where You Can Use Multiple "blog layout themes" in one theme?

HI I have searched the forum but couldn't find anything relevant to what I am looking for.

In Joomla, you can use ZOO and change the blog date layout settings whichever you like. For example you can use multiple blog layout styles in one theme.

For example, you see this blog date Icon below in Streamline theme

but there is NO blog date icon in cloud theme

In Wordpress, can you cross-use the blog layout styles of Streamline or Pure or whatever in your Cloud theme?
or even simpler, can you insert the Blog DATE ICONS to Cloud, Nano themes? like the ones in Shelf and Streamline themes?
Is this possible in Wordpress? well for newbies? or you just have to stick to one blog layout theme forever?

thanks in advance.

One of the benefits of ZOO is that you can use different layouts/themes without changing the overall site template in Joomla. If you want the date icons style for your Blog posts, you could copy the CSS and PHP from Streamline for example to your Cloud Theme theme. You can use a Web Developer tool, like Firebug to make this easier for you to customise. Compare the /layouts/single.php and /layouts/_post.php files

Amazing! It works! haha feel so good!! :) thanks for letting me know that it was single.php and _post.php that inserts the blog icons haha:)

after you just copy and paste those two files, what you need to do is using firebug, copy and paste the CSS code from system-all.css!

thanks!

So will the free version of zoo work if you want to have pieces of various themes integrated in your overall site template? Is Zoo automatically installed when you install your yootheme template?
