{{AdiumThemeRatingPlatinum|2463|GoneDark/GoneDark Polarized}}
{{AdiumThemeRatingGold|7435|Hard Bubbles|Header covers the top messages but there is a button to hide the header. Some variants seems to be broken (White, White Bubbling, Modern, and relative Alt *)}}

{{AdiumThemeRatingPlatinum|6638|Mochastyle}}

{{AdiumThemeRatingRubbish|2158|Modern View|Renaming {t,T}emplate.html becomes gold. The hide link in the header is broken (opens a browser instead of hiding the header)}}

{{AdiumThemeRatingBronze|345|aNon|Does not show status messages}}
{{AdiumThemeRatingRubbish|7003|coly/coly.names|The name in the dropdown menu is wrong (Actually because the Info.plist file is info.plist instead).
