OK.
I can't quite get into the constructive criticism bit yet because I think the whole thing is nasty at the moment. Really not a fan of dark colours, I know it saves energy and that..
This is not entirely true, depending on the monitor a white screen can use less power than a black screen (and by black I mean displaying black, rather than being switched off) - it all depends on the rest state of the pixel 'window' - you can design a monitor to be 'normally white' or 'normally black' - laptops were designed to be 'normally white' so they use less power as most websites and software put black text on large white areas - so it is better for battery consumption for the pixel to open up and display white when no power is applied and to close the 'window' and display black only under power.
The fact that the source of light (backlighting) is not coming from the pixels themselves might confuse some people.

I hope that makes sense !
