Basically this is a theme system where you make your theme following the above guidelines and update.zip method and then your theme can theoretically be applied on any phone and on any rom.
This should save you a heck of a lot of time in making different versions for different things, and also means that your theme can be used by a far wider range of people.
Please give a lot of consideration to using this.
When it first launched it had quite an impact, but however since then it seems to have been somewhat forgotten, and new themers have missed it altogether.

IMHO this is a game changer! Great stuff.
If/when I theme, I will definitely use this.

The VillanTheme system is pretty neat. Always liked metamorph and this is similar but at the flashable level.
Does the VillanTheme system back up original assets? The reason I ask is if a user flashes a villantheme that applies changes to 10 image assets. The user then flashes another villantheme that only applies changes to 5 of the 10 images that were just changed. Is the user then faced with a mix of two themes as the second theme didn't touch the other assets from the first theme?
