Fantastic. This is what we need more of!

I keep pushing out tiny changes to the theme, bug fixes, performance improvements, etc - but no drastic changes.
Things do not have to revolutionize the way we think of minimalistic UIs to be good. We "lost" a lot of the "core UI posters", such as Led, Lyn, Kamii (Still plays), Carebear and several others. We're left with a few good UI posters (good is subjective, but I'm fairly sure you know what I'm hinting at), a ton of bad ones and a ton of TukUI edits which all look the same.

I've got nothing against TukUI, but I do think it killed a lot of the UI scene by being so easy to use. It also fits the general population very well because it's not very minimalistic. People are usually scared away from the pixelated, transparent look of, for example, FreeUI.
In reality, I think FreeUI is the single best "one-click-install" UI out there. I know Kamii uses an edited version of FreeUI.

I think it's because the scene was bigger, and as such we had more constructive criticism going around.
