Everything is LLX except the weather widget in a couple of the shots as it was just to test what another widget would look like with the item background, border, etc. These obviously aren’t amazing as they could use a better wallpaper, font, and other tweaks.
What is set in all of these is the menu at the bottom which is brought up by the menu button on the phone and would allow quick access to setting in a themeable manner. Next would be the desktop grid being set to a certain constant size. The bottom bar with icons is a scrollable panel acting as a dock. There is also a page indicator on a couple of the themes. I am not sure if Pierre would want scripts in a default theme or part of the whole “skin” idea I had in mind. I think it would bring a lot to the table but there are obvious hurdles to it.

Not quick and dirty. I like it.

Simple, but miles ahead of the current default.
My only comment would be to using the device’s Menu button. I used to configure my setups that way too, but my new phone doesn’t have such a button.

That is true about the menu. Android is going away from physical buttons and the menu button all together. I still like the idea of a easy to theme menu though. Just might have to find a better idea then the out of date menu button.
