I have to decide on a vocabulary to use so that we do not confuse application theme-ing with skining the Home Screen and the widgets that can exist on the Home Screen. Maybe Skin? Than there  is an aspect of coupling.

We have a Home Screen Application running and the Widget running.  Even if we set the index of 1 to be the default skin, I think still we have to have it directly coupled in that you would have a res file called skins.xml that would list the skin names with the first one being the default Android skin.  The Home Screen Application and the Widget Application than reads in the skin names and order form this file to verify that the resource files are in the proper order before proceeding and etc.
