In theory you should be safe with 777 because there are no 'vulnerable' files/script in those directories... Also Wordpress says the whole wp-content directory ought to be 777

Good idea.. I can see the uploads folder being 777, but I cant' see having your theme's open. Some theme's have all the inportant files, to accessable for me.
