What is everyone's favorite dark theme? Dark gray, black.... whatever. I'm really looking to find some out there as well as try and create my own, first theme.

Thanks!

IMHO, dark/black themes are unusable, so I may as well go based solely on aesthetics with no regard for usability. In that case, I just love JetBlack. It's even less usable than the other dark themes, but it looks absolutely gorgeous.

My favorite dark theme is Titanium7 and favorite black theme is Shinobi because of those shiny window widgets and apple menu

Swiz and Daisuke Yamashita own the darkness 50/50

The rest just pale in comparison :)

no way, it's brilliant, pictures don't do it justice. It's amazingly functional too, the default colour scheme, for me, is far better than the metal in Panther, but longhorn has the advantage of each window having a set of functions that blow the finder away, imo.
