Don't count on it, dude. Especially with respect to Nokia developers. Empirical data is grossly against your aspirations.

I'd say the media player and gallery bugs are not not major as they are not blocking the usability.

What's the problem with the multicolumn lists?

All the same, I wouldn't use a theme that has got this kind of dimples, when there is a working default theme available.

When you select a row, every column in the list gets its own full frame. To test, check the Call Log or the Contacts List.

More the better I say. I would love for our repo to have 10000+ apps/themes instead of 1000. If the change is very little, maybe it's not worth it. But if it's noticeably different due to the color changes, then it makes perfect sense to make multiple variants.

eg. your hitech theme in black/white instead of blue would be fantastic.

But, I hope, not this kind of 10000+ apps/themes?

It may be worth including a tiny standardized config panel applet that lets you tweak a few theme variables.

Is there a workaround for the virtual keyboard which is messed up in the PR1.2 RC? Apart from that, I love this theme.

haha. yeah, I agree. I don't think Maemo5 supports such tweaking of only certain parts of the themes in real time unfortunately.

@ joppu, just trying to learn a few things on my own. what do u think of the gnome menu-icon? i think it looks fantastic on that black shade. In second screenshot, text color is much more calm and easy to work with
