It took a little getting use to, but that's true of any changes for most people. Seems fine to me now. Not 100% on board with the backgrounds, but that's about it. Using the WrestleMania one now myself which seems to be the best one for me so far from the physical aesthetics standpoint. Admittedly it's not as if much of the background is visible anyway so not a big deal. I'm not sure which aspects of it you think are ugly though, so I can't speak to those. Like I said, took a little getting use to, but they've tweaked it and done more with it. Looks great now and seems to work fine and run smoothly. (*cough* Except for SPOILERS. *cough*) So I'd suggest maybe give it some time and try to get use to it before writing it off and deciding to just use the mobile theme.
