Very nice I have to say! Maybe the text in the background image
is a little too much blurred. Otherwise however it is great.
Of course the background image is separate from the theme, so
one is able to choose any background for a theme he or she finds
most suitable.

When you have finished with this, please send us a link since
this looks quite promising. I have an idea, there is art.gnome.org,
www.kdelook.org and www.gnomelook.org. Should we perhaps have
something similar for maemo themes? In my opinion, it would be quite 
great. The kdelook and gnomelook seem to have the same
web page framework, I was wondering is that framework a
open source framework for this kind of things and where to get that if 
it is?
