A new theme is coming!!!

The issue is this: we need C++ devs. Thats the long and the short of it. Design wise and idea wise it's all good but most devs are tied up in other work so if you know any C++ programmers who can follow design guide lines, who know the importance of resource usage, who can be positive and inclusive and who aren't scared of being a part of design work - LET ME KNOW! The more we get the faster the new widget theme that's planned will get done.

(The current idea is visible in the Qtcurve theme you can download from the blog (yes we will get something more easily acquired soon))

Now something more important. For me an application window(not counting popups and modal dialogs) is composed of three sections(similarly to a webpage) header/content(with optional sidebars)/footer, I really would like to see a noticeable distinction between those elements... the main issue that i have with oxygen is the lack of this distinction...
You can check my previous mockups https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/633 ... index.html (switch between "Oxygen theme" and "Mod1" - Load theme) to see what i'm talking about.
