I have to add some explanation to that.
I'm all OK with plain and simplistic, but not TOO plain and simplistic (aka, the Windows 8 and apple route). 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.
This is just my opinion (and i happen to hate iOS7 + windows 8 for their fugly themes). I disagree with the change, but understand it if you would push it regardless. The general design theme these days seems to be heading back to 16 color monitors anyway.
