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.
