Default [Q] why are there soo many themes for all the roms besides squidlymandigo rom?

I've been a Droid 2 owner for over a month and I love the squidlymandingo rom but I find it really hard to locate any compatible themes for it. I know there are more people like myself who would like to see more themes for this rom or atleast some links to some working themes. I hope some talented d2 themers see this thread and help contribute some themes to a perfect rom.

I know its a very popular rom that is very smooth and there are options for blurry or blurless rom and its got the best quadrant score (2500 was my lowest running stock Squidly 2.3.20.2 with oc at 1.2) out of all the roms i've tried for the d2.

Just need some themes for it so can anyone please help us Squidly users out on the theme tip?
I just posted a poll on some themes we would like to see ported for it here

suggestion: since you have noticed the need/want for themes for the rom and an apparent lack of a supply, why wouldn't you jump on it and become somewhat of a hero amongst the squidly community? trust me, theming isnt hard (even i figured it out lol)

i've been trying to follow the instructions for porting over themes to this very beastly squidly rom but haven't any luck minus a port of a old revolution remix but didn't like how some of the stuff didn't theme over correctly and i lost the verizon wireless indication in the drop down and when i tried to port the WatermarkD it completely jacked my phone so i'm going to leave this to the pros i just hope someone shows us some theme love cause i'm not going anywhere romwise and i am sure most of the users feel this way but we just need some theme options that are designed for the rom.

The quadrant score didn't mean crap all squidly did was run openfront or opensource or whatever that improves AAC encoding which is one aspect of quadrant, but it messes around with audio streaming. This "massive" quadrant score doesn't really mean any better day to day performance.

regardless of the quadrant score its still a very popular rom and there are many that would love some themes for the rom. i like the rom cause its smooth and i can choose to keep some aspects if motoblur or remove it completely but honestly like a few of them so its a good rom for me just lacks themes.

Squidly enabled stagefright in the build.prop which is why it gets high quadrant scores. Squidly is awesome and I would love to see some themes for it.

Well... a lot of AOSP themes will work for other AOSP roms, like a bunch of fission themes work fine on gummyjar or liberty.

Sometimes they screw up a few features but since they don't do any huge modifications themes often will work for similar roms.
