We don't live in a monochrome age anymore so i think the theme should retain "some" subtle color variations. Having said that, the current plain horizontal top gradient might be a bit too simple (as in not very stylish) as well. Take a look at this for example: http://paswall.com/black-wallpaper-6462-hd.html Ignore the texture, but you can see the subtle lighting in there. That's probably what the plain theme needs.

Yeah, the radial gradient could be nice. Can QML do radial gradients?
