Things I love:

New throbber. sleek.
White logo with slight glow.
White disability and power icons.
Overall dark gui: sexy

Things I don't love (but can see a reason for.)

Spotlight on 'floor', how does it look when there is only 1 user?
"Login Options" I think that this should be an icon like the other two 
white icons, perhaps a gears icon. I can see reasons against this.
In the GDM theme the white frame around the user selection box is 
darkened, this makes it so much less sexier. Those white borders really 
helped distinguish the box from the background. furthermore I don't 
think that the stroke color matches the stroke of the bottom options bar.


Things I cannot stand:

You will hate me for this, but the brown you chose is too lively and too 
dark. Making the brown more orangish, or even tannish, will highlight 
the sexiness of that dark sexy gui.
