Hi.
My first Theme
Tell me what do you think and what are your suggestions. It's a dark theme inspired with Sascha's H. Calabi. I've never use ThemePark. I know I will have to spend a lot of time but.. couldn't find nice dark theme yet so.. maybe I'll fill up the hole

Thanx

It's not bad for a start. Kill the gradient though.

While I always admire Demo's graphic sensibilities, I gotta go with those saying that the gradient looks sexy. (Even though it may raise some consistency issues in some cases - I may be wrong about this)

Bottom line? I dig it.

Stay with it and don't be afraid to ask for for help as you delve into TP. Nice work!

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

He seems to know Calabi as He use a Calabi Minimum� folder.
But to me, Neutrino glows, Calabi shines... Except colors, they are different...

well stated Acrimonium.

nice work Sauo. While I might understand what you are trying to pull off in "White Supply" variant - the original is better. I think the gradiants are very slick - I hope you can pull off this as a dark theme. Keep us updated.

I was talking about the window gradient and how one side is lighter than the other. He changed it apparently to make it more darker, which I like. That's just my opinion of course. I can't be right all the time.

Yeah, I've wondered what's going on with Calabi (and its accompanying icons) too. Nothing since rad-e8 posted that Intellectual Property article. Hmm...

Anyway, I like the theme as it's shaping up in the previews. I fall in the "I like the gradient" camp, though that seems to be relatively small these days. What exactly is the logic behind that shift? What is so wrong with gradients?
