So now we have trivial UI themes floating in the top half of the Hacker News front page. Lovely, just lovely.

Thank you for your kind words Anton. I am glad you liked it.

Your app screenshots look good, I couldn't find a link to test it though. Would love to try it.

The buttons would be great with a separate :active style which reinforces that they are bona fide functioning buttons with some extra 3D on the mousedown.

I know you can't control the colors used by whoever uses your theme, but please consider offering fewer / more distinct colors. R/g colorblindness affects around 5-10% of males depending on region, which depending on your market, can be a huge subset. The default colors you're offering, if used together, are not distinct enough to be told apart. [1] This is not an easy problem to "fix", however, but generally limiting the number of colors and trying to make sure they are outside of the most common color blindness ranges [2].

Of course, the onus is on the designer using your templates; not you, but I always feel this information is relevant when discussing design themes.
