Well, I guess I'll start small - literally - and try a Nano theme or two. :)

The Sansa C series has an even smaller screen :D and is in desperate need of more WPSs.

The iRiver H10s and the iAudio X5 have slightly smaller screens than the Nano as well, though there are a fair number of themes already for the X5 and H10 20GB. If it weren't for the fact I own an H10 20GB and started theme-making with the smaller screen, I'd try to port some of my themes to larger-screened targets. As it is, scaling themes up would be trickier than scaling them down, I think.
Though, I suppose I might be open to try my hand at it if people requested any non-Retired themes they'd like ported to their targets.

I'm aware. Ever tried to watch a movie on the thing? ;)

That would be wonderful. Pick any theme that seems feasible. I want to work on Pen and Paper, AAPod (which I'm attempting right now), and Corners (both are for the Nano).
I'm trying hard, but as I write this post, I'm as baffled as ever by the task of getting the images in the right place, etc. This would be so much easier if Rockbox would show me the WPS as written (even if it runs off the screen), instead of reverting to the "old default" WPS (which is nothing but text). (I've converted the images already, with a little help from Irfanview and a comparison of the screen dimensions).
So if you do them and beat me to the finish, please tell. :D

It won't help with failure-to-show-as-written-even-if-wrong, but developing themes on the simulator is far easier than developing them on target.

I was actually thinking that I'd be willing to try to port some of my own themes (for the H10 20GB and iAudio X5) to other targets if there were any specific requests for themes I haven't deemed "Retired" (I'm done keeping up support for those older themes, but they're licensed so anyone else can update them or port them if they wish to).
That being said, I may try to port a few of my newer themes anyway just to see what I might be up against.
