Oh, I think most of the themes look terrible on the desktop.

This, this, this! I agree so completely. But for mostly opposite reasons: the designs look cramped, line-spacing is zilch, <--entry/comment padding hovers at or near zero-->, sidebar info is scrunched together, "design" itself consists mostly of color and borders, or lack thereof applied to varying degrees, CSS3 is mixed right into 90ish designs, hiding the text descriptions of various elements (like an entry's tags) is considered a thing, scrollbars appearing on resize, transitions to mobile resizing that feature mind-boggling breakpoints, resulting in no resizing at all until it's too late...just stuff like that. It's why I either roll my own designs or re-roll other people's. I just can't take the pain.

(Also, we inherited every one of these design shortfalls from LJ except for perhaps the CSS3-on-90ish design mismatch. Every single one. Not that it really helps anyone to realize we inherited the source of most of our troubles directly from DW's predecessor.)
