There are some themes in extras-devel, like bossateal theme, maemo.org theme or reflect theme.
Nice wallpapers can be found on http://n900wallpapers.com. (I have not tried them yet, got just the link)

Forgive my ignorant curiousity, but why are themes in extras-devel? They can't be unstable (can they???) Are they still being tweaked? Or is that just the procedure before they go up the ladder?
Plus, they are contained in a deb package which run scripts as root on the device. For example, you wouldn't want me to be able to upload a theme to extras without testing that has "rm -rf" in the postinst script
(not that I would, obviously!)

Yeah.. it's usually just a good idea to run all packages through a testing process before allowing everyone to install it. Jumping straight to extras could.. well.. really make t.m.o. an interesting place for a while..

Ah, ok. I'm just an ignorant n900b. I was a bit mystified about what could be 'unstable' about the theme. I take the point about usability, and if they're not compiled into an instalation packeage, then that makes perfect sens.
Thanks for the explanation: You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread.
(Though I still want to see that maemo.org theme...)

I absolutely love the maemo theme as well.
And I'd like to make themes too. I don't know much about codes and programming but if there's one thing that I'd like to know first and contribute to fellow maemo users is n900 themes.

Is it possible that someone could re-create the stock theme so instead of blue, it is red. Black and red work really well together. I think it would look great. I imagine it needs a simple overlay in PS - But still new to the device, I don't want to run before I can walk.
