Thank you for your reply. Hmm, but I see on market many themes like mine. They all will be banned similarly?(for example - the ADW "Tron" theme from another developer with 10000 downloads or ADW nexus S Gingerbread(!) theme - also on top). Therefore, it is unclear to me why some of this similar products are blocked, while others - not? For my themes I used materials that are freely available. Namely, I used the images found in "Google images ".
And why google not allow to register a new developer account? I could correct my mistake and publish my own apps.
