iHP140 Built-in Themes Overhaul
Paul Slocum:
I think the HP140 (and maybe other targets) built-in themes need an overhaul.
First of all, they need to be named with more descriptive names and they should probably all use CamelCase. Currently some are all lowercase, some have underscores, and some have camelcase. And names like "engineer2" don't make any sense when there's no "engineer1". This is a pretty easy fix.
Second, several of the themes on the latest version I have don't work right in that they have text overlapping with graphics. These either need to be fixed or removed.
And finally, the built-in selection of themes just isn't that good. It's been pretty much the same themes for a long time, and I'm sure there are much more impressive themes that people have put together. None of them make use a grayscale. The built-in set should include the best for that target's resolution and capabilities. Maybe the community could decide on a few...
EDIT: I realized this may only apply to the iHP140 and related targets since some of the other targets have dramatically different WPS's.

Llorean:
Authors have to submit their theme by way of the Flyspray tracker for them to be included.
Because authors don't include a license document with themes they post on the wiki, we can't just take those themes and choose to redistribute them.
Mikerman:
I agree that more iHP-1xx themes/WPSs would be nice, especially with graphics of some type (as may be possible on the iRiver players).
Thanks for raising this again, Paul--and have you submitted one?
;)
Paul Slocum:
I have made one or two before, but the WPS code has changed dramatically since then. I'll update at least one and submit it.
Also, WPS now supports grayscale but I don't think any of the built-in themes make use of it. IMO most of the included ones should since it looks a lot more impressive (and maybe also the default one.)
For good themes that haven't been submitted to flyspray, we can just ask the authors to submit them. Maybe I'll do that...
This one looks particularly impressive:

Is there a standard licence anywhere we could copy? I'd like to submit one of my efforts.

That one also gets my vote. It was my default theme for a long while... :)
