This is my review for shades 1.5.

There is already a 1.4 version in the repo, this seems like a refresh for
wordpress 3.0, Ive highlighted the minor errors
I'm sure the author will fix the css error.


   * The theme uses valid HTML.

*Seems that the search form declares ID "searchform" twice, needs to use
class instead of id for one of those divs.
*
   * The theme uses valid CSS.

*just one error ( if you ignore the css3 moz errors )
#header-center h2 shows colour #00000 should be #000000*

   * The theme uses minimal CSS hacks.

*Theme has an ie6 file, but its empty.*

   * When referencing other files within the same theme, avoid hard-coded
URIs and file paths. Instead reference the URIs and file paths with
bloginfo(): see Referencing Files From a Template.

*Uses TEMPLATEPATH to fetch locales*

   * The navigation is easy to understand.

*Yes its easy to follow, but the theme has been updated for 3.0 but does not
support the new menu system.*

* Does the theme have pages tabs in the header? If so, do they overflow or
have problems with child pages? Only shows level 1 pages.

o To output date format: the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) )

*theme uses <?php the_time( 'M j, Y' ) ?>*

 * Do embedded videos look correct?

*No support links just show as shortcodes
*
Language support YES

*Theme has language support BR included in archive*


Obviously a pass as the author already has 1.4 passed.
