Description: Black, highly polished glassy elements reminiscent of onyx or sapphire, with bright white-blue (think xenon lighting) LED's underneath. Intermixed with polished white-bluish plastic to preserve readability and compatibility. Brushed windows are also made of dark glass, with grey-blue wells and text fields (where possible), and faint blue stripes "behind" the glass. Window control widgets should glow brighter on mouseover, with the close button possibly glowing reddish (instead of bluish) to make it more discernible. Also, it should change to reddish-white in unsaved changes state.
Graphical Intent: To provide a sleek, dark feel to the GUI, while preserving the compatibility and readability where possible. Also, to make a high contrast, gadgety, playful and attractive theme that's still easy and nice on the eyes (unlike most other "over-the-top" blinkenlicht themes).
General Comments: Based in part on a previous theme called Onyx2 that i've never finished. Most glow effect layers are blurred with gaussian blur, 1.0px radius. Most speculars have an additional layer set to Color mixing mode to add some blue tint.

To gel like for me and the title bar button are strange, but I like the colors.

Strange as in “i don’t like them” or as “there’s something seriously wrong with them”? Re: gel - i’ve never cared much for fads and trends, so gel not being “in vogue” right now doesn’t really bother me
