Good idea, that actually hadn't occurred to me at all, but it would make the appearance more consistent.  I'll do that in a few days give or take.

Edit: @EvilG, I wouldn't feel too bad about it, in all honesty my problems have more to do with my inexperience with wikis in general than anything you might've done.  This is the first er.. legitimate open source effort I've ever done anything with.

This theme looks awesome. I just had a question about the bluring:
Why is the blured area darker in the WPS screen then in the backdrop? (or is that only my eyes?)

tdtooke:
It's all about the layers.  You could look at his .psd file if you have an application that will do that to see exactly how it works.

SliMM:
It's because the backdrop has a semi-transparent white layer over the whole image. I did this because you can't control the position of the text in teh file browser/menu and a darker backdrop would result in unreadable text.

Also, because of the light backdrop, there is also posibility of some anti-alias with the icons. Try the icons over a darker backdrop, you'll see what i am talking about. :)

dionoea:
Hehe, ok. Thanks for the answer, it makes sense :)
