I didn't really dislike the artwork itself, it's just that the way it was<br>
implemented in this theme made text nearly unreadable (i.e. white text on<br>
backgrounds that were often light in color). Perhaps one day I will modify<br>
the theme to set an alpha level so that the artwork can be shown without<br>
affecting readability.<br>
