Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
I know and do remember the general rule of thumb was someone could always come in and fix the theme up, but in some cases, themes are getting neglected again and should at least be showing a warning that says that they may be broken.
The 220x176 is a trivial fix, but the licence thing means I can't upload a fixed version. Just replace ......
By the way – this also shows how the rating system is (kind of) misleading the way it works currently. A lot of the obviously broken themes seem to continue to have (close to) a 5-star rating – which incidentally would be erased if one of the authors were to return and update their theme.

But I don't think it's worth worrying about (you can vote as many times as you like for a theme, by the way). Really, does it matter? Sadly, I don't think there are enough Rockbox users these days for it to really mean much.(What irks me a bit is that people seem to give one-star votes if there's a problem with a theme, rather than actually reporting the problem so it can be fixed...I have similar problems with other web forums that allow 'downvoting' of things, whether uploads or just comments...it's just a silly way of doing things....if you have a problem with a product or a comment or an argument or anything, much better to just say what the issue is in words - downvotes don't tell anyone anything....upvoting can make sense as a way of expressing agreement with a comment or just acknowledgement that something uploaded is actually getting some use...but downvoting is kind of pointless, it's purely negative and kind of hostile but doesn't tell anyone what the problem actually is so that it could possibly be fixed - or if it's an opinion rather than a bit of work, at least discussed...but as I say that's partly a problem I have with other forums entirely)I noticed that some of the Rocker themes I uploaded quickly acquired more votes than downloads...that seemed a bit odd!Edit - that so many of the themes listed in the post above are broken probably just reflects that there are very few users of rockbox on that target so nobody notices or cares, unfortunately.I just wrote/fixed themes out of my own desire to have a 'complete' set, uploading them is just a way to make it feel 'finished' and on the off-chance that someone else might use them. But I just don't think there are many rockbox users still out there.
Ability to comment if a theme simply doesn't work and to say what the problem is, might help, but I bet it would get misused. Maybe even for commercial spam (those guys sneak in everywhere). Or maybe they could give a trusted individual the ability to add such information (as you have with your list above).
Some of those themes shouldn't even be listed under the iPod 4G section of the themes page anyway, as they may be 160x128 resolution, but are color themes meant for devices like the iAUDIO X5, which is the same resolution and in color. I reckon a bunch of these themes have been incorrectly tagged.
