Re: is this a joke ?

Certainly not.
And I am not laughing at your theme either, it's a nice theme, but it has really nothing great. I always respect other's work, especially when done for free

I was anticipating some great themes coming out of this contest, and I got surprised to see those three 'standard' themes winning the contest.
Netscape had some great themes for its Netscape 6 skin contest, I was expecting the same level here.

All of this is my personal opinion though, upload your theme to themes.org and we'll see if I am the only one thinking this.

well, that's exactly what I did.
You can find my work here: http://apps.kde.com/na/2/info/vid/3239
There are about 1500 downloads from this location, plus around 2000 from www.astralon.ru and my site (http://kde2.newmail.ru)

Note that I was not ripping Matrix, Star Wars or whatever.
And "Mummy Returns" appeared on screens *after* I did my Egypt theme :-)

There are some limitations in KDE Widget and Window Decorations engines. I can't overcome them. But current choice I have on my desktop is superior to Gnome, SawFish and IceWM. That's was my goal when I started doing my themes. I am pretty happy that I succeeded. Going to make more in the future! :-)
