Hi,
we had a talk about this the other day and I'm really not sure we gonna do it (I'm sure we are not jumping on it right now). Reasons:
1) Changing all the graphic resources to some kind of light theme would take approximatelly a week and another week to resize them to fit all the possible Android screens (these are my guesses and I'm not the graphics guy so it might be even longer). That is at least 2 weeks of work, 2 weeks we currently don't have in the schedule.
2) Including the skin in the AMS .apk would increase the size of the app by approximatelly 1,5MB (yes, graphic resources are that big) making it 6,5MB app. I'm pretty sure some of the users would like the skin no matter what, but based on my experience, ten times more users would be mad about the increase in app size.
3) It is probably possible to offload the resources to a standalone file, but that would require us to rewrite access to the resources in the whole application. I assume that might take another (few) week(s).
