Default Comp Themes and My Scoring

I love this competition and the themes it bought to light. All the themer's made some amazing work but like they say only one can win. I couldn't pick by just saying which one i liked cause there were a few i liked. Some were great in certain areas and ok in others. So i made my own scoring system. My system focuses on the areas that i use and see all the time. They are:
Boot Image
Clock
Dial Pad
Google Search Bar
Icons
Menu Buttons
Notification Bar
Notification Drop Down Bar
Programs Tab
Settings Buttons
Unlock Screen
Zoom Buttons

Each of these criterion has a maximum value of 10 points for a maximum total of 120 points. The final criteria is called Eye Candy. This is just my overall score on how the theme looks as a whole. Does it stick to the subject of the theme? How sweet does it look? Eye Candy in the end is worth a maximum of 50 points for a final total of 170 points. My final score was calculated by having the sum of all the criterion over the highest possible sum that can be achieved. So X/170=.xxx and .xxx is then turned into a %.

So thats what i've done so far. Haven't slept since i got these last night. I've charged my phone at least three times today. The themes were amazing. I hope i don't offend anyone with my scoring. This is just my opinion. Others can have something that is the complete opposite. But man this was fun. Hope we do these as often as possible. Now, It's time for a nap

No points to Gloss Suite for the menu lock screen?

IMHO that's one of the most impressive innovations anyone did.

That screen was cool, thats why my eye candy is high. But the actual screen to unlock the devise with gestures had nothing. It was the same as the stock one.
