The results of the themes contest have finally arrived. We

1. Themes that supported more than 2 platforms were slightly prioritized.
2. Themes that could be built within a few minutes using the Telegram UI were discarded.
3. Themes that we deemed unusable (e.g. those with low contrast / dissonant color palettes) were likewise discarded.
