Where are all the 3rd party developed themes?

I think the newly added feature of themes is great. But, it's only as good as the themes that exist... which right now appear to just be the default ones that exist in the latest beta.

Has anyone developed any themes that use the new theming feature? Will these be stored on the SageTV downloads site?

I have a theme I'm working on, but in my opinion the theme machinery isn't quite ready for wide release of third-party themes. There are a couple of bugs in 6.2.5 that cause themed images to display incorrectly in some cases (and yes, I've reported those bugs). Plus there parts of the standard STV that have not yet been fully converted to use themes (for instance there's currently no way for a theme to override the "blue bubble" look of cells in the program guide).

That said, part of the point of themes is that you don't need to be an ace coder or a Studio guru to make one. Anybody can do it. So if you think there aren't enough themes out there, you're in as good a position as anybody to do something about it.
