In-app purchases: You can buy another theme if you want. There is no need to do that - the whole functionality is available anyway. I thought it would be nice to at least have the opportunity to make some money from it...

I haven't thought about open-sourcing it... Maybe I'll think about it...

Nothing wrong with wanting to make some money. Especially with something like additional themes.

Please just don't hide existing/important features :).

Making additional themes be in-app purchases seems like a reasonable way of funding the project. You might want to specifically say in the app description in the store what the in-app purchases are. I was kind of suspicious until I saw this explanation.

"Free on F-Droid, $3 on the Play Store" is another approach I've seen (e.g., Conversations and DAV5x).

Good point - I changed the description!
