Sure thing! (I'm the guy who designed the themes). It started out as a personal project. I wanted something with a Gothic feel--brighter and more colorful than the default graphics, and higher resolution (I play at 1600x1200; the themes will scale to whatever resolution you play at, however). Then a few folks asked me to do some specific variations, and now the Gothic theme comes in three different flavors...

Illuminated (sort of an illuminated manuscript look):




Stone and Steel (good for Vanheim and Ulm):




And Bloodstone (evil Dominions rejoice!):




I think Johan put an earlier prototype theme in the .zip on the Illwinter site, as well. Also, you can mix and match the guiborder2 and mapbg files; currently I'm using the Bloodstone background with the gold-rimmed Illuminated menus, and it's sort of growing on me:



Enjoy!
