Gradient's not a bad idea, actually, but not exactly what I meant. Kinda hard to explain: Just as you have it now, except instead of what is there now for BGs (graphics and greyish flat/low contrast in Iivilsteel B&W: 1. Background/wallpaper is (not he B&W checkered pattern), but a simple black with bluish "light streaks" from the top or bottom of screen (like the Marina theme, I guess). 2. Clock BG (clock app and power button app) also "light streaks" 3. Other BGs where present, app manaager, etc: the same as above. 4. To keep the bluish thing going, blue text could be used instead of white or grey, e.g., unread mail, certain menu/submenu items, etc. Hope that is clearer, if not I'll post some mockups.
