I'm having difficulties in finding a fitting name. Chrystals or Diamonds or Squares... all pretty boring. what would you suggest?
Any comments/requests are welcome.

Rhombic sounds a little fancier, but still conveys the thematic shape.  I like the new green look.

You should bundle those together into one pack. :)

I've thought about adding albumart to this theme and have implemented it as following. Now albumart is shown when changing the Volume. Do you consider this useless/not practical or do you like the idea? (ps attached is an animated gif of the theme in use)

Very nice.

Now if only one of these idle developers would add a "rotate-album-art-by-45-degrees" tag if would fit perfectly :-)

I think the theme is more coherent without it, actually. 

Rotatable viewports would be a very powerful feature.  You could certainly suggest it in the Feature Ideas forum.

I'm sure creative types could do some lovely things with it if it was in, but it was totally tongue-in-cheek :-)

Personally I don't bother with cover art at all even on a PC, unless the media player I'm using trots off and gets it in the background.

Interesting.  Did you display a mask image over the album art?  +1 Inventive.   :D
