I think the idea is good, after all, contrast is very important, but the 
current colors we see on the screen shot you have given are 
atrocious. The first think I thought when I saw them was "what on 
earth is going on here, this gives me a head ache" I think we need 
to come up with a theme that contrasts only slightly...so greyish 
blues maybe, instead of something completely different. I think 
something along the lines of the Aya theme might work well even. 

The question here: How can be change the theme without causing 
an ubuntu complex in users (change change change)
