I've been using Dark Sky since the themes were stripped, and I have a couple of issues with it:
The theme is predominantly navy blue in color. There are some words that are extremely difficult to read because they are either black or very, very dark blue. They barely show up on the dark navy background.
The scrollbars are nearly invisible, and it's difficult to tell where the bar itself is or isn't.
Is it just me? Dark Sky is the only theme that doesn't hurt my head or make my eyes water. Am I the only one who has these problems with it?

Re: Issues with Dark Sky
I'm using it too, not because I like dark themes - I don't - but because it's the only theme we have that doesn't use animated symbols for popular posts.
The colour of the scrollbars is determined by your computer settings, not the theme. On a Mac you can change them in System Preferences, so on Windows I'd guess it would be Control Panel or something.
But yes, some things are quite annoying, such as quoted text. Normal text is pale on navy and I can read that, but quoted text is black on only slightly lighter navy. Like this:

Yeah I have those problems too...reading the text. Scroll bars and what not are your own system settings. Good luck!

My issues with the scroll bars happen when I'm at work on the company computer. We use IE and I can't change any of the settings or preferences or, well anything, really. At home I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser, and I have it running a theme. The Firefox theme uses its own scroll bars.
I'm stuck with the Dark Sky scroll bars at work because that's what the website and BUS theme are dictating.
