Oh, that again. I have already decided that it will not affect the general visibility that much, so I won't be "fixing" it.

I think its the perfectionist in Joppu that disallows him from doing multiple color schemes. He likes to do it exactly the way he imagined it, with no "compromise" of other variations to please others.
I atleast share this attitude in things like these, so might be projecting how I feel about it into this.
To me it feels like a very Finnish mentality

Hello, Joppu
A few problems I have found with the theme:
1. Notifications are shown in gray instead of yellow. Yes, I understand that this may have been a style decision, but they are notifications. They have to stand out.
2. Selected list icons have got left/right edges. This causes unpleasant visual effects in multi-column lists. Try selecting an entry from the phone log or contacts.
3. Volume/position slide in the Video Player shows up with the wrong background.
4. There is a gray frame around the screen in the Image Gallery.
5. The default background color (gray) messes up some other apps as well, such as BatteryGraph.
6. Sliders (such as volume slider) show up some color-banding.
7. Please, make shortcut icons larger, the same size as in the original themes. There are really other ways to save desktop space, without making shortcut icons look truncated.
8. Contact shortcuts come up in green, without contact faces.
That is all I could have found by now.

I'll probably have to change it into a lighter tone like I have done in Array. But not yellow.
This is intentional.
Probably won't fix since it's a problem with the application, not the theme. Ditto. BatteryGraph's fault, nothing I can fix.
This shouldn't be happening, it's a bug with the graphics handling that it can't update the contact shortcut images properly. Please reboot a few times.

If the whole Maemo 5 is designed to work with back backgrounds and black backgrounds only, there's no way for me to fix it, other than using a black background which I do not want. It's just the reality.
Edit:
Doesn't look half bad, or am I missing something here?

Yea, BatteryGraph just looks a bit weird on the gray background, almost like there is something in the empty parts of the graph. Unfortunately, the Gallery, the Video Player, and anything that uses multicolumn lists are not blending in as well.
