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.
