Thanks. The default theme looks nicer, but due to the white backgrounds 
everywhere I find it hard to identify the different regions.

Ah, ok. Don't know why, but I had them in the other path.

Hehe, my words! Although I didn't change the way gradients are stored in the 
theme file yet. (Remember? You suggested a different method, but I didn't have 
time to implement it yet.)

Hey, we can have as many themes as we like. Should I make a "medium contrast 
for Remon's screen"? We could also add a galery to the website. OTOH I think 
I'll have to give it another overhaul, because there are still some elements 
left which are not fully themeable.

I tried rendering the gradients to pixmaps before painting, but it didn't help. 
(Re-rendering was only done when necessary, of course.) It seems as at the 
moment only solid colours should be used.
