Vish, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but aesthetics are by definition subjective.
Now, if you were submitting it to an art gallery, I would agree that "an artistic critique/evaluation" of it would be warranted. As it stands, you're delivering an aesthetical element to a desktop operating system used by a diverse community of people with different backgrounds, very few of whom are art critics. This is a case where aesthetics are decided by popular vote. If they don't appreciate your supposedly "artistically sound" masterpiece, you should change it.
