Still not on themes page, but there's already some in the themes git
repository:

You submitted it for a contest with a very specific target and some
rules: http://www.claws-mail.org/theme-contest-2014.php

Your theme doesn't qualify for that target and doesn't obey the rules,
nothing more and notheing less.

BTW, by the time the contest was launched SVG themes support was still a
happy idea, if any. And XPM format was mandatory, that's not the rule
which discarded your theme ;-)

My fault, among others, was not answering to you before, but I hope you
can accept my sincere apologies for that.

best regards,
