One dark gradient theme for Crisped

Hello again! Since there were some delays regarding our CLA (apologies to everyone regarding that), I made some minor adjustments to the Gradients themes' s2 color assignments under the hood, and those changes should hopefully fix some minor display problems in webkit browsers and make user customization a little easier. It also had the side effect of making legible Dark Layouts much easier to manage, so I made one!

Theme name/Layout: Barren Winter Trees / Crisped

Unlike French Gradients and Cool Gradients, it also has a custom sans serif font stack defined. That's because I received some good feedback on the original custom css about how it looks with sans serif fonts, and I happen to love that particular font stack with dark color schemes. (Optima!♥) It's all defined using s2, of course, so it should be simple to change if a user prefers another look.

As with French Gradients and Cool Gradients, testing and feedback are extremely welcome! The IE9 problems are still unresolved, as is the issue with the gradients not appearing properly (or AT ALL) in Opera 11.

I *really* like this layout, actually. :) Like it enough that I might actually switch to it -- whether the gradients work properly in Opera or not (as I very well could just use Chrome).

I'm also in the process of patching this theme in addition to the others you made for Crisped, and the fixes I mentioned for Cool Gradients and French Gradients also fixed the issue of the gradients not showing in Opera on this layout as well.

Everything looks great in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. IE still has the same issue with the box borders, but otherwise looks good. Would you mind double-checking my changes in Safari before I work on the patch? :)
