I'm in the process of completing my second theme, called :fetish. It's another gray theme to add to the millions of gray themes out there. The main difference with this one is that it does have color so that it's not extremely dull. Plus, it's made by me which means it will at least fall under the "different" category. I'm looking for feedback so that I know what direction to take the project.

I don't know, the red seems to add a nice splash of color. Otherwise, the scheme seems to fade into the background a little too much. The color could be used to indicate the "active" window. Maybe you should consider making a few variants with different accent colors: red, blue, green, etc.

Nice preview, though...

Color is good, but I think red is a little too much. Maybe a bluish-gray?

Color variants. That's a good idea, ill implement that.

App skins are planned as well. I'm thinking icons too (eventually). For them I'm thinking of making them very dark, like the menus.

whatever colours you might add, please, no baby blue.


i kind of really like this theme, or want to, but the one thing that bothers me is the silverish area around the upper left buttons. its almost like it wasn't supposed to be included but was, or rather in my mind, it takes away from the overal grace of the theme.

i'll shut up now and when i get around to posting a theme, then i'll be better qualified to critique.


i do like it though

I feel exactly the opposite on this one, I think it's a great addition to it.

I like the top of the windows, buttons and that curve thing you have going on there. I like that a lot. I hate the red. I can't stand it infact. Maybe it'sbecause I don't like red? That's probably my problem. I also do not like the highlight graphic. The gradient enclosed by 2 red lines. And that's not because I don't like red, it's because I feel it's cheap looking. I think you should make this theme in different varients of colors. Changing a few graphic buttons shouldn't be that hard. Anyway Overall I think it looks pretty nice.
