Then (and I just suggest this to the developer) it would be nice if the Theme creators had to list which programs and/or widgets are used/required with their themes.

This would be nice for sure but at least in the meantime when you edit a given theme and the red boxes appear, give the box a tap and it says which widget/app should be there. But yeah, a sorted list of what's included would help out a lot.

This is my Sweeter Home theme.
Left screen is just some settings and widgets.
Home screen has a "springboard"s for messages, contacts and apps. The apps "springboard" shows "tagged tray" controlled "springboards". (It is a little confusing, I know.). And a block that launches the market and one to launch the browser.
Right screen has multimedia widgets and a "custom tray".
Top screen is a calendar widget and an agenda widget.
Bottom screen (not pictured) is an "all apps" block. But since I added that as a "springboard" to my home screen, It will soon change again.
I just started trying to customize the landscape screen.
There is a very steep learning curve for Sweeter Home. It's tough to get started, I downloaded and un-installed several times before it started to click. But after a lot of time and sore eyes, I like the results.
I have GDE, (which I liked until I found Sweeter Home), as my Home replacement app, while I tweak my Sweeter Home theme, when I get the time. It helps out to have an app killer installed to kill it and restart editing. (For some reason after I exit editing sometimes, not all the time, it gets very slow, just kill it and restart it. It DOES help.)
When you download a theme from the "Theme list", it doesn't load the widgets that they have. You need to tell it which one to load. So you can put any widget in any widget block.
"Springboards" turn on and off "widgets" and "trays".
I think only the "tagged trays" auto load up. "Custom trays" do not, you just long press on the block and tell what app you want in it.
I hope this helps somebody out.
Yeah that's the dev's pet peeve. He's working on it.i have been using sweeterhome for a while. I do like it and i do enjoy how much customization you have. I just don't like how the theme server is handled, there needs to be a better way to view the themes, and a way to view more of them.
New build out now, includes LWP.
