Graphite Mode?

no themes, at least not anytime soon. from http://macweek.zdnet.com/2000/01/09/osxing.html

In a break with recent consumer OS releases, Apple won't support switchable themes in Mac OS X. Bereskin said Apple
has spent a lot of time refining Aqua and that it will be the user interface. (Users should still be able to change color
schemes to match their favorite iMac colors, although Apple didn't state that specifically.)

I find aqua to 'pretty' the colors are to nice. Your eyes tend to look at color taking away from some visual elements for programs and web sites.

Maybe I am just color blind - but I cannot detect an overall color change with graphite. The only color change I see is in the window title buttons.

and in the scroll elevators, default buttons, progress bars, and the apple icon in the menu bar. Some apps like omniweb also change their toolbar buttons.
