Are we accepting any new themes in the main rockbox build? With rockbox
util and the themes page I do not think it makes sense to include any
further themes in SVN unless we decide that a new default is needed (that
works on all of the targets). The reason I bring this up is because of
tasks like this:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8350?project=1&type=4&order=dateopened&sort=desc&pagenum=6.
I think it should be closed.
