Are there any 'themes' for iOS developers?

I am aware that the iOS framework has a concept of UIAppearance which allows you to easily adjust the visual appearance of the controls in your application. What I am wondering is whether there are any published libraries of colour palettes / themes that work well in the iOS context?

For example, an iOS equivalent of jQuery Mobile theme roller:

(NOTE: I have googled this first!)

If you're looking for a better way to style your application's interface, you have a few options.

There's the Open Source project NUI, located at https://github.com/tombenner/nui.git

It allow you to set styling using a CSS like interface. One drawback is that you have to rename some of your classes to inherent from NUI interface classes instead of standard user interface classes.

Also, there's Pixate, which allows you to directly style using CSS at http://www.pixate.com

However, it's not available yet, and it will cost $300, according to their Kickstarter page.
