-would still like to see version-specific color highlights, alternate text, and button presses. All the grays look like they go well with black version, but what about the other two versions? For the blue version, icon presses, menu button presses, and menu selections would look better in theme-matching blue, as would the several areas that use two different kinds of text (menus, playlists, conversations inbox view, etc). White primary text with blue secondary text in these areas would look better I think.

Ookay.. there are different text colors for different themes, maybe you forgot to reboot after selecting theme in order to hildon-desktop-engine to load new font color values for secondary and active texts?

List item highligh-color is going to be changed to match the theme's color scheme.

-The colors in individual conversations could use some attention. Somewhat difficult to read the names, as its dark gray text on dark gray background. I'll refer to the MER/M5 Conversations color scheme here; with its blue names and dates, it looks nice and is easy to read.

Conversation window has greys on names and I think it's cool to keep them grey. What brightness level are you using if you can't read the names? I'm using 4/5 and I think it's readable enough since the names aren't the "point" on the conversation window. I want to make the conversation text to stand out compared to the name. Color "matching" to the theme is done with the border color of the conversation bubbles.

-icing on the cake would be theme specific shades on the virtual keyboards. Your keyboards look very nice, though would be even better if they matched their theme version

I'm gonna do this when I have time. This is on the to-do list

@PipoXtreme:
Message pop-ups are yellow because I wan't them to be stand out from the basic color scheme. Yellow is also the "default" notification color so I though it would be a good idea to keep that color.

@DaKing:
Didn't understand the "question". You want more transparency or what?

@der_ronny:
The whole point of my icons is that they are rounded. That's the style I have had in my mind since the first theme I've ever made and I'm afraid I won't change that. Nice suggestion though
