Well, I guess the design of Centori is okay, but the colours that it uses
are totally out of question for a default theme: I'm hardly able to read
the autoplay buttons, and the other buttons are totally impossible to
recognize unless they're highlighted.

Layout-wise, I'm still a fan of the "cloudy" theme, though the colours are
a bit too dark to be friendly.

Keramic has perfectly bright colours with very good contrast. However, the
play/pause/stop/forward/back/eject buttons are a bit too small, and it's a
bit confusing that you can't grab the control panel at it's title bar to
drag it around.

So: The perfect theme is not there, yet. But if I had to chose one now, it
    would be "cloudy" or "Keramic". (xinetic is okay, too, but getting
    boring, as it's been the default for such a long time ;-)

How about designing the "perfect" skin before selecting one?
