Coming soon: Rework of my themes

Hi!
In the last few months I had a lot todo at work so I couldn't work on my themes. All my themes are not working very well because I had not that much knowledge of themeing.
Now that I have enough time for working on that, I decided to make a total rework of all my templates from the beginning. These Themes are:

Glossy white

Blix

GreenMile

and not yet finished translucency
This will take a bit of time I know but I want to let you know that I didn't forget them.
Greetings, Lordcoffee.

Update:
I had a lot to do at work but now I had a bit of time and can say that the totaly reworked theme "translucency" is close to be finished. Maybe it'll take another 2 weeks but I think that's O.K. Here's a preview:
Thanks for any Ideas!

O! M! G!
LordCoffee, you've really outdone yourself this time. I liked the original blue-and-blue translucency theme, but this one is awesome, too. It looks fantastic!
Any chance you'll provide various color schemes with this theme?

Thanks! A lot of!
@judebert: This Theme is supporting three coloursets. The blue one (not exactly the same that you remember), this (red) one and another one (I'm still working on the colores).
Greetings, Lordcoffee!

Update:
I think I'm near to a final version. For testers here's a zip-file:
translucency.zip
and here you can see it in action:
translucency in action
It has now
two colorsets (red and blue) and another one is at work.
Thanks for c&c,

@stm999999999: Yes! I get
a little bit inspired by the LCARS-System of TNG. My first Theme I've planed was a LCARS Theme. Maybe now I can create one

Wow, it's thin. Is the background image on the entries stretchable, or is it fixed width? If I increase the width, will I need to supply new images?

@judebert: Then you'll need new images, sorry

But that's a good idea to implement for the template options. How much width would you prefer for the content? (I could work on this on friday).

Umm... all of it? I know it's not fashionable right now, but I prefer dynamic-width pages that use the available real estate.
To get that, I'd need to split up the template a lot, though. I didn't realize the entire page was a single giant image. The only other thing I'm worried about are the rounded corner boxes in the footers. They are single images; that could break if you get a multiple-line footer. (For instance, if the findmore plugin is installed, or the entry has too many categories.)
I'd say, don't worry about making it bigger. You've done a fantastic job, and my preferences are not the same as the majority of the public anyway.
