Looks really cool but waaay too dark, at least with my current monitor calibration.

I like dark themes, but nobody has been able to do it and do it right thus far… there’s always some elements that don’t get the proper treatment (ie: dark text on dark background), making the theme unusable. That said, I also agree that it’s too dark.

Awesome! OS X desperately needs more black themes. Jet Black runs into some darkness problems, but it would be great if Gradyan could fix some of them, as well as skin iTunes 7. One recommendation I have is to have an option for the three buttons in the upper left to change to red/yellow/green instead of all black. Please make this theme regardless. I hope this wins!

I think a good new black theme would be awesome, as all the other “black” themes are more gray-ish.

Too black IMO, and the gradients contrast with the sharp gloss transitions.

This is really smooth and stylish but it’s just a little too black, it needs some contrast with different shades to make parts of the UI stand out.
