All of the above is stating the obvious, but besides the point. People
don't like to spend time on something when it isn't yet clear to *them*
whether it is truely necessary.

Someone banned you from IRC? That's not right, IMHO, and should be reverted.
You may have a hard time believing it, but for me and apparently other
people, it isn't clear at all what graphics you have done from scratch and
which ones you didn't do at all, or have only modified from pre-existing
graphics of the theme that your work is based on. In other words, it looks
like you have clearly not created the majority of graphics. Obviously all
the icons you didn't do, the logo you didn't do, it's clear you did the
background gradient, probably also the yellow gradient at the top, perhaps
the glow around the page, and you created the background with the big leaf.
The round corners on the boxes are not graphics, but part of the CSS (i.e.
GPL I presume). Did you do the tabs graphics for the activity display? I am
not aware of any other graphics which you may have potentially created. So
all in all, people are forthcomming by asking you which graphics you did,
but you can't expect them to switch to another theme entirely while it
looks like you did only some graphics from scratch. I think it's more
reasonable to replace just those.
In any case I'll get to work today on the ones where it's pretty certain
that you created them from scratch.
