10 Please make a cinnamon version of this theme. It is gorgeous. I am so tired of white/gray themes. It's refreshing to see other palettes.

7 Really nice colors, and I always like this core of Paul's themes. Things are just so nicely proportioned and shaded here :D The palette *very* slightly gets me in that early experimental nostalgia zone where color was used to differentiate different UI elements and things were not just glaring uniform white or midnight black (this was a great era, shut up). Think Motif/CDE or Acme/Rio/Plan9. It's a lot more subtle than those, however - perhaps a bit too much so, with the low contrast buttons. Windows without sidebars can be a bit blah, but you can't style every conceivable bit of UI out there. Recommended partners: papirus-folders with "nordic" color, retroish editor and terminal theme e.g. Gruvbox. No keyboard navigation, no GTK2 theme. That's a shame. I guess it's an alpha release or from an earlier offshoot? It'd be nice if the common core of this theme could adopt some of the fixes from the now-abandoned Wrk-PRO theme

Yes, but not a finished product. Still need to adapt it more to the color-scheme
