    I don't believe it ... so few themes were made by users for our Tablets ?

    maybe there are more floating around in various places (i wouldn't know, i don't use themes on any device - except for the star trek themes of course), but i believe the above link is the only place where you'd find most of them together.

    Once I have a bit of time in the summer, I'm considering making an OS2008 theme. None of the existing ones really appealed to me, and LCARS messes with the applications too much. I won't make any promises yet though.

    Well, i'm sure that many people made themes already for themelves ...
    It would be nice to make a place here to very simply share it together ...

    Agreed. Though, the same can be said for a lot of the Maemo community. If Maemo were more popular, you'd probably have websites devoted just to themes...

    There are a bunch of themes floating around in these forums as well... Have you searched for "theme"?

    Anyway, to answer your disbelief more adequately... Themes are rather complicated and time-demanding things to make -- aside from the need for a little artistic ability. And, most of the people who develop for tablets -- or even those who want to get a little deeper than just using the default apps and themes -- are not artists.

    So, if you're a tablet user who is an artist... And if you also have the ability to design and create meaningful iconography... Then you can download and alter the massive PSD (Photoshop) file that contains all of the tablet theme art. Once that's done, you've got to learn how to use the ThemeMaker application in order to convert the theme into an installable package. Of course, then there's the process of uploading it to Extras, etc.

    As you can see, there are a few barriers to easily creating a theme for the tablet.

    But, many have, so it's not impossible.
