dysonant

Thanks Chris.  I am glad you modified it to suit your needs.  

Ah, right on, dysonant. The subtext can be important though (especially with many of the workflows), so I thought it best to leave it visible. But it's usually too long to really scan by eye all at once, so I liked hiding all but the selected's subtext. But for some people what you have will totally get 'er done.

Yeah, showing subtext on selected was the one call that makes this a little less useful, but overall I could still see using it.  Love your theme.

Maybe it is a bit too minimal, but still it is clean and useful.

A theme styled to resemble early Palm OS.

I feel like this was a really nice start, but wanted to modernize the look a little.  So, here is a new version of Palmystery called Palmysterious.

A throwback amber screen theme that is minimal and easy to read.

Yup, still hard.

Well, as I said, feel free to modify to your liking. 

Thanks for the feedback.  I suggest you try installing it and tell me if it is still hard to read.  Also, you are free to modify and make the font darker to suit your needs.

My intention was to make the selection very readable and the other list items fall away a little to draw attention to the selection

A really colorful, happy, but not too bright theme that is also super readable.

A clean command line, green screen, retro but updated theme for Alfred.

Thanks to Fabio Niephaus for making the original.  I modified that theme for this result which is clean, simple and elegant.
