How much time did it take to develop your themes, as far as coding the actual theme and which programming language was used?

Perhaps many people think that to develop new theme is very easy. But it is not so. If you like to create a beautiful and lovely theme you must spend much time on it. So it takes 8-15 hours to me. May be over 20 hours. I must say that there are such programs which coding themes. I use Carbide.ui 3.4 for making themes and for it’s elements I use Adobe Illustrator CS4 (SVG Files), and introduction pictures I use Photoshop CS4.

Can you share for our readers what developing is on the horizon especially with these new devices coming soon?
