The Deviant lines theme looked really good, a very original design that integrates well and has a nice clean appearance. It's also nice to see a theme that doesn't have very chunky borders which just waste space and make the interface feel a lot more chunky. I would in this theme prefer to see a larger title bar text (for accessibility) in exchange for less wasted space at the bottom - I think something could be done with this theme to make it work well for a possible alternate theme for Ubuntu to ship: something that is unusual and original but not sci-fi and old fashioned.
