I agree with Mikkel, this is nice work. One comment I'd like to add is
that I had to strain a bit to read the text. By lightening it up there
will be more contrast and it will be easier to read.

A potential problem with a dark theme is that the light (white)
content areas will be quite bright compared to the chrome/ui. Taking
your eyes off of something very light and focusing on something very
dark will require a moment for the eyes to adjust. (think of walking
from a sunny area into a dark room) This may need some good user
testing.

Also testers should probably look at this with their screen's
brightness at different levels. When I unplug my laptop my screen's
brightness decreases to 50 - 60% to save power. A low contrast theme
will be very hard to see in that condition.
