Rejected Theme - Looking for constructive feedback

Well I’ve posted several themes and none is accepted so far. And recently I’ve submitted a Tumblr theme and again doesn’t get the approval. However the reviewer (Ivor) does give some feedback to improve it, but it doesn’t really hep me in finding things to improve it. So back to the audience, what do you want to see and what do you think I can do to get this to be accepted?

Thank you to all that willing to leave your 2 cents.

Minimalist design = solid grid + good typography + proper white-space + ...

Great work! Looks elegant but very plain at the same time. No problem in typo and the use of white space imo. Maybe add a little more touch? or jQuery effects thingy.

Yeah, but there are option for user where they can use background image if they want to. I just try to put it as clean look as possible. For the effect, I ain’t got idea what to add on as I scare to add more stuff and defeat the minimal style that I intend to. Still, thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, there’s a difference between minimal and spare. This is looking just a little to spare/barren. I’d add just a little style to it, not much. Nice spacing though

I think there’s too much free space. You can for sure add something useful to the space or just fill the content.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I’ve updated the theme and looking to submit yet again. But before I submit, I wanna know the better way of uploading the file. Since Tumblr let themes to upload their static file to their server, I don’t wanna waste my time continuously uploading file there while my theme go rejected again and again. I wish to only upload them at Tumblr ONLY after it is accepted. Is that possible?
