Yea, the apple is a bit big, looks kinda weird. Otherwise the theme looks quite good. Could we maybe see an open finder window?

A nice start, but it's too similar to the other "pro" themes (Studio Pro, Aqua Pro) for my tastes. Keep working it.

I am really kinda getting tired of the gazillion greyish looking themes.
How about something more original for a change.

I wouldn't even use this theme on a Windows� machine. In fact, if this was the only 3rd party theme available in the world... I still wouldn't use it. It's terrible.

You posted your opinion twice. OK you don't like it.

Don't keep whining around here about where are all the themes.

Why would anybody waste their time for ungrateful 's like you.

It is very... 'Pro' looking.

Maybe you should try giving the widgets deeper, brighter coloring and maybe add a bit of definition by using lines to some degree to surround the windows and title bars. The danger here is that it looks like everything is about to merge into eachother. So that could really add some definition.

Otherwise, its a lovely start.
