Looks ugly to me, very flat, very cumbersome and to much contrast between buttons and background.

I think it looks fine, if a bit boring. One big advantage it has over many themes is the fact that it exists, and you can actually download and use it.

"Just because it exists" doesn't excuse poor artistry.

Too much contrast? Aqua has more contrast between buttons and background (e.g. blue vs. white) while this one is black on charcoal.

at least its available for folks to use or modify as they wish.

besides, i don't see much in the way of themes originating from either of you.

criticism means nothing if the critic can't back it up or offer something constructive.

I was only commenting on the contrast issue...nothing more. I personally do not think dark themes are usable.
