Well...are *you* going to do the work required?
Or are you simply going to continue to expect other people should have done things for you because you want it to be done, without first thinking of the monumental effort that goes into finding an exploit for these devices, let alone getting code to run, and even more so a fully functional third party OS like Rockbox?
The developers here work on what they want to work on, because they are interested in it personally, and on an entirely volunteer basis.
Each port also needs to be written essentially from scratch, while it it sometimes common that two devices will share some of the same hardware as devices with existing ports, there is always a lot of new (and undocumented) hardware to be tediously reverse engineered and understood, which takes a lot of time and effort, and more importantly a person or preferable several very dedicated persons, to do so.
You're welcome to check out the NewPort page in the wiki to see what goes into it exactly, and you're especially welcome to start contributing to the project.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but your post sounds as though you expect it to be done, without first thinking of the work that goes into it behind the scenes.

I have been looking everywhere for the past 2 months to change the theme for my iPod Nano 5g. iPodWizard website stopped working so I no longer can get themes from there after I found out how to do it. >:(

The website you are referring to does themes by making changes to Apple's firmware. Rockbox is an entire replacement firmware with every single feature implemented separately using none of Apple's code. Rockbox is not a way to change the theme on your player, it is a replacement operating system for your player which happens to have a themeable user interface.
We do not support, and have no interest in, modifying Apple's firmware.
