1. Background/wallpaper is (not he B&W checkered pattern), but a simple black with bluish "light streaks" from the top or bottom of screen (like the Marina theme, I guess).

2. Clock BG (clock app and power button app) also "light streaks"

3. Other BGs where present, app manaager, etc: the same as above.

4. To keep the bluish thing going, blue text could be used instead of white or grey, e.g., unread mail, certain menu/submenu items, etc.

Hope that is clearer, if not I'll post some mockups.
I wasn't able to follow your wish-list exactly as you wrote, but I'm coming up with something like this:




How about that?

Smoke BG , I think, is what you meant by not followng my list exactly. But, I like it well enough.

*Is the BG smoke bluish enough?

*Are the calendar views behaving themselves?

Do you want to just put it together into devel? Then I could give you better specifics.

I really like the B&W theme, but there are some odd 'embellishments' that appear on the horizontal lines on some widgets, i.e. the Maps widget, Media Player widget and the Calendar widget. These 'embellishments' aren't there on all themes, but are on quite a few, and they just look wrong IMO.

Is it possible to remove them? If you don't understand, I'll post a screenshot.

You can see what I mean in the Maps widget in this screenshot.



P.S. I'm particularly pleased with the 23 minute uptime shown in this picture, above the output from ddate

Sorry but I still just won't get it
I see nothing corrupted or broken on that shot, but it wouldn't be the first time I'm blind :P

I'm not sure that it is broken or corrupted as such, its just personal preference, I guess

I'm talking about the squiggles on the line above the On/Off switch on the Maps widget. They are also visible on the Media Player widget and Calendar widget in the screenshots in your post above.

Actually, I like those "classical" embellishments; but that is just a personal preference.

Ok, I'll install it later. I do want to post a suggested alternative background. Hope that's ok with you.
