awesome job on this, saint dark. using it now, probably for a long time too.

edit: the font makes the download dialog look rather.. ugly. i don't want to change the font, since i'm afraid of throwing the caption bars and stuff out of whack. :\

Because the original background color is light grey, its only purple when the mouse is over and the text color cant be changed in that actions

Sorry, but the fonts cant be larger because:

1.- The caption bar size is very small, a larger font can´t be displayed correctly

2.- The font was designed to that size in mind, any larger size, /xept some xtra large sizes) looks terribly bad

3.- This is a minimalistic theme
