this one is really nice - kinda makes me think of piano's or other
musical instruments... I think this is the strongest of the posted
themes

I like this but I agree, overkill. I think perhaps only overkill
because you've got so many different textures going on. If you
simplified it to only the one in the menu or title bar I think it'd be
really nice...

Again, this is really cool. I like the piano-ish black. Also I think
sticking to s single colour/texture combo might be nice...

Not as good as those others, but still nice. You might need to think
about implementability on these before going much further... Have you
ideas on that?
