just installed it on the frontend in my bedroom.
pretty good.
doesn't have the problem that i have with a lot of themes (squished OSD
text in 16:9 mode), so that is a plus from my perspective.

could i suggest that the "colour packs" be relative to the theme "top".
poor wording, i know. to install you have to unpack the main tar file
and then the colour pack; then move it on top of the original, as the
top level directory is red/ or purple/ rather than metallurgy/

i know this is a real nit-pick

it is one of the few themes that i have seen that has no (or none to my
eyes so far) alignment errors.

keep up the good work
