Hi guys & gals, Overall I think it looks great! The green taint looks really nice. However the login screen appears to be a bit rushed. Hope who ever designed it doesnt take this too personally, but the "cloud like puffs" doesn't look too crisp or fresh. It's easily done by a simple filter / effect in photoshop and it kind of takes the "edge" out of it.
Just my thoughts.
