Thanks Richard, but it does not really address the issues I have described.
What would be really nice is this... Create a special ThemeRoller page, that assumes everything just like the Bookmarklet does. That way I can send my Safari users to that link to get their themes. I could even include this (via WebView) *inside* my app and make it super easy for users to get themes. That would be awesome! On Mar 10, 8:21 am, "Richard D.
