README is wrong

[Sophrinix]

You can have different styles (TSS), views (XML), app icons, splash screens and assets per theme

While it is possible to have a commonJS module or even a processed controller ( which would be pointless) in a theme, it is not possible to have views in a theme. I am considering my option with regard to making this possible.

Would a PR to this project be a suitable place to make such a code change?
It would introduce Alloy as a dependency to this project.

Sounds interesting. So an XML view in a theme folder?

[Sophrinix]

Correct.
I've observed a few behaviors:
First, the alloy compile --config ... file= command only works for controllers that are inside the /app directory.
Second, in a theme folder if you have lib/alloy/{views, controllers,styles}, they copy over into Resources/{iphone,android}/alloy/ -- but does not process them -- before "MVC generation" starts, aka alloy processes the views into the controllers and places them in that aforementioned path.

This feels like incomplete functionality. In fact, Appcelerator made a ticket to make this a thing a while ago: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/ALOY-1307 but never got around to it.

I'm thinking this improvement could go in either this project or TiTh

PR would be welcome!
