* - Landscape layouts completed for all 5 display types.
* - Readjusted button scale and positions for ipad for improved
*     reachability, balance, and comfort. (that bezel!)

* To Do:
* - Quality Testing
*     Device status:

Get ready to improve you gpSPhone gameplay experience!
All-in-all, this is more of an upgrade than a unique
theme.

This is a modified theme based on the default, with
some tweaks to the color and layout, including an
added A+B button, of the portrait controller, a
completely redone landscape controller, and much
improved button mapping.

The original mapping had several problems, including
inconsistently sized and irregularly placed buttons,
L and R bumper touch zones that were far too small.
Probably the biggest problem was the D-PAD layout
in which the LEFT and RIGHT buttons met in the middle
of the D-PAD, preventing the player from sliding
directly from UP to DOWN without bumping LEFT or
RIGHT. In order to make gameplay more like the actual
handheld I have left the very center of the D-PAD
unmapped (the handheld has no button in the middle
now, does it?)
Other buttons' mapped areas have been made larger
and moved to more thoroughly cover their graphical
counterparts, making them a bit easier to press. See
the preview image for details.

Finally, the landscape controller, along with the
above mapping changes, has been redesigned to be more
visible in more color situations (it was previously
invisible against white backgrounds) while remaining
as unobtrusive as possible.

Enjoy!
