I'd even pay FPPs for really good themes, otherwise I have to pay $ to 3rd party custom creation sites like pokermods.eu
Stars would easily root out bots... There's tons of poker bots out there, but you don't see any on Stars..

I'm one of the 3rd party mod designers.
I'd be more than happy to have my mods offered in the FPP store under some form of % sales arrangement.
Whilst I know this has been floated to Stars before I'm sure the issue is/would be the volume of support their design team would then have to provide to cover outside designer's graphics.
All that said, I'm in favour of PokerStars designed and supported mods being offered via the FPP store - irrespective of whether that would be opened to 3rd party designers in the long term. However, that runs counter to my understanding of the PS ethos which is, without sounding like a shill, a high quality product open to all - rather than creating a two-tiered playing environment. Any form of in house shop-mods would create an actual or perceived lag between paid-for mod release/support and that which is open to all.
As for your final table issue - there is a workaround if you were to set up a duplicate of your favourite theme and then adjusted what final table settings are applied to it.
The very quick way would be to 1) setup an xTheme entry pointing to your theme 2) creating a gx.ini text file that prescribes the final table options 3)...?? 4) profit
You can read about how to do that from PokerStars' Theme Integration Guide, a copy of which can be found
