You're both right - Terra is a wonderful theme, and very consistent in its
operation. However, the current menu imagery fails to match the
sophistication of the rest of the theme. This is technologically trivial to
fix, but will require significant effort from an artistically minded person
to find appropriate and license compatible images. Right now, I'm sure that
the focus is on the technology - which is where it belongs!

I have only one genuine issue with Terra, and I wonder if it's correctable:

On the Watch Recordings screen, recordings are arranged as (forgive the
dodgy text diagram!):

Rec1     Rec2     Rec3     Rec4     Rec5
Rec6     Rec7     Rec8     Rec9     Rec10

So in navigating the recordings, one uses the presses right to advance from
1>2>3>4>5. However, pressing right again doesn't take you to Rec6, which
breaks the usage model slightly. (Note: I haven't used Terra since switching
to Blue Abstract, so this may not be quite right, but it was the reason I
changed theme)
