Default [Theme] SteamPunkish theme, initial release. Feedback Requested

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I have spent many a sleepless night working on this and it is a few boredom filled days away from initial release, but far from completion. I am looking for feedback! If you don't like something, tell me and I'll look into it.
This started out being a Steampunk theme, and I think keeps the basics of it, but is not full out Steampunk.
It will be for most roms using the VillainTheme system, not theme chooser. There will not be a battery % displayed in the status bar, just the images as normal.

BEFORE YOU POST, CHECK THE SECOND POST FOR THINGS I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIX / EDIT.

Pay no attention to the LauncherPro dock and icons at the bottom and let us begin...

Coming as soon as I dig up my long list.
If you like what I do, all I ask is you hit the thanks button.
Downloads
SteamPunk Initial release, still a lot of work to do. Flashable, should work with most 2.3.x roms.
Random Wallpapers that I think go with the theme.
Market Link to a free LWP that looks ok.

Thanks goes to bmann_420 for hosting over at SuperCentral.net. If you want to donate to someone, contact and donate to him since he is letting me use server space for free.

Things I'm trying to fix
Image #1
Make the on / off icons bigger. Also some of the on / off buttons are not made yet, I forgot about those
Image #3
The USB stick is colored when you mount your SD card.
Image #4
Same as #1, maybe make the background more see through.
Image #5
Add a background image to the dialer. Probably leather.
Working with Mister Hat to make another dialer.
Image #6
Align icons
Image #7
Align icons
Image 8
This image is to show you the change to the desk clock, I don't like the time bars.
Misc
Also changed a couple of icons. What do you guys think; change them automatically or let you change them using adw or whatever?

Code:
8/23/11 Uploaded initial test release.

Suggestions so far:
Rounded corners on tabs.
Get rid of antique phone icons.

Thumbs up Antique phones

I don't dig the antique phone icons, especially the grey one used in image #5 for the phone tab / dialer.

Also, I think you should make rounded corner tabs instead of black/white gradient.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah I agree, I loved the colorized theme.. this one would be something I'd rock in my late 60's.

It's greyed out because that tab is selected. Also this pic was taken early, it's not b&w gradient, it's all tan. I'll add new photos in the morning.
Also I'll look into the rounded corners. Don't know how to do that yet....
