This theme is very similar to AquaGreen.

Things I like:
  • Very clean look.
  • Good contrast.
  • Posts are separated from one another by horizontal lines so the eye is naturally drawn to the boundaries of each post.
  • Block quotes are displayed with a shaded background.  It doesn’t shade internal block quotes differently, but it does display a border on the left-hand side.
  • Category and archive counts are displayed by default.
  • Lists are displayed with markers properly.
  • Blogroll links in subcategories are displayed in a separate list.
  • All the parts of the sidebar are distinct.
  • Sidebar is always displayed.
  • List of pages is displayed at the top.
Problems:
  • If no title is specified for the title of the calendar widget, a blue box is displayed above the calendar in the sidebar.
  • The text within the Akismet widget box is unreadable (all white)
  • The background of the Category Cloud widget in the sidebar is the same as the page background (gray) instead of the text background (white) like all the other widgets.
Things I don’t like:
  • The line between posts isn’t quite distinct enough, particularly since there is some text above the line.
