It looks very nice and clearly a lot of time went into this, but it is not OTS2 compliant when (1) it repeatedly attempts to download a module that does not exist (there is no xdesktop 1.7.6, the last version was 1.7.5), and (2) it contains 35 desktop shortcuts whose icons are missing because they (a) don't belong to any apps installed on my machine, and (b) have absolute paths to locations on the designer's own computer somewhere in Germany. Trying to rectify any of these situations is an uphill struggle, because the theme is scripted to auto-replace altered config files with hidden copies of the originals every time you recycle. If the end user is forced to extensively hack the theme in order to make it at all usable, it is not OTS compliant at all.
