I prefer the darker themes. In fact I always have "Pure Black" active.
The trouble with the darker themes is that the border around some menus is hardly visible... They are more clear with the lighter themes. I just don't like them. But then again, who am I...

There are no borders around the menus, only drop shadows. If the background is pure black then there’s no color darker to provide contrast. This is also why you almost never see pure black used as a background. If we added another parameter to the themes we could set the drop shadow color and make it a glow instead of a shadow for pure black but glow wouldn’t always be appropriate either, for example if you have cover backdrop enabled with a low alpha blend value on a light colored album cover, etc...

We could try a very subtle border in addition to or as a replacement for box-shadow. Something like below looks pretty good :-)

border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.2);
