One more vote for the old clock! It was plain and elegant, whereas the new one looks like a horror flick prop.

Elegance is my definitive choice of theme. Is, as the name implies, 'elegant' and very good looking.
The only thing I would change too is the clock; it doesn't quite match the theme.
A simpler clock, in black or dark background, maybe with some transparency would match better.

Still, congratulations on a great work.

Under kde 4.2 beta1 the svg's for the tasks seems to be broken. Is this a known problem?

The shuddown/logout dialogs in your theme are ugly. I don't know it's a bug in kde or your theme, but for me it looks like: http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/4012/screenshotn.png
It would be a lot better if the picture was at the left of buttons.

Hey, I fixed it myself by removing the power logo from the dialog. My fix also corrects the problem where buttons were unreadable under KDE 4.3. Anyway, you can download my fix here:

when tray icons are hidden there should be an expander button on the left of the tray which there is not, though the functionality of expanding to show hidden icons does work if the area is clicked

I really like the elegant theme on my system without compositing. The only problem is the "more" button on plasma notifications is light grey and the text that goes on it is also light grey, so it is unreadable.

Okay, so I fixed the problem myself by copying the button pixmap from the BlackGlass theme (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=110034). I also fixed the shutdown dialog for KDE 4.3. You can download my fix here:
