I am in absolute agreement with you and Don on this one. I see 100% no reason to waste my time or efforts if people need to wade through heeps of trash for themes. I too use a proper paint shop program and Illustrator besides understanding the xml which no one needs to know with the online theme maker Google has offered anyone to make a theme. That is the whole reason Google is accepting those trashy themes and have not added mine, Dons or yours and probably many other creative theme makers themes. I too, have put a screeching halt on my theme efforts as I see no point of wasting my time or energy with Google and the trash it accepts. I am so angry and the inconsiderate attitude and lack of appreciation for the great themes that experienced theme designers have made in the past! I will not hide my unfortunate experience with Google from anyone. Feel the need to spread the news about Google! I am so angry!!!! I am in total agreement with Don's post above that is exactly how I feel about this situation too.
