Rockbox Theme Style Guide (not official)
DrewVosburg:
I'm not trying to say themes should be taken down. I am trying to post general guidlines for people who want to develop a new theme. That way they will end up with something common people will want to use. Technical people can make their own themes, and in fact, that seems to be most of what's on here.
Not trying to tell other people they are doing things wrong, but look at some of the responses to this:

I personally wouldn't presume to do that. People tend to make what they want to use.
I think it is actually the title of the thread that bothers me, it sounds too official.
DrewVosburg:
well, i'm a new user as of today. feel free to re-title, since i don't know how to. you're the mod, it's your call.
either way, i do think i know what makes a good theme. these kinds of things aren't entirely subjective, and i have done quite a bit of looking into it. people can make any themes they want, but there are some things that, in general, make themes better for common users. i tried to collect them into one place.
AlexP:
I'm of course not anti good themes, I just like freedom to do whatever you want including making crap themes, and your post just sounded a bit prescriptive to me :)
I added not official to the thread title just to make it clear

Of course not everything is subjective, but guidelines that are partially correct, partially subjective and partially plain wrong don't help anyone.
