It nicely blends into different color schemes with time :) Would love to know which ones you like.

I hope that Google works on other parts of their themes beyond the backgrounds and other limited colors changes already added.

That combination gives extra functionality within Firefox, and I don't use any other browser for Gmail/Google Calender in any case. Having looked at these new themes, while some of them look pretty, that's about all they do. In other words they are eye candy. Now, on a public facing website this can be important, but on a machine that only I see, it doesn't matter a jot! I am aware that these themes will show up on IE for example, but I only ever use IE for testing purposes and never ever as a working browser, as it's too darn slow, and insecure in any case (even IE8). Chrome is ok, and fast, but until Google allow it to have the plug-in functionality of Firefox, it's not going to get much use here either.
