Nice theme. I personally did not hear of this one before (but I am
rarely first on news).
It makes me think of another monochrome theme which was talked about
quite a bit recently:

There is also another version of these icons for light background made
by another contributor. Actually we are discussing about including
this new set of icons in the next official release (GIMP 2.10) and the
3 icon designers have already agreed to license these icons as GPL for
inclusion in our code repository.

Is it the last stable version (2.8.8)?

Does it crash on startup, or it first loads fine then crashes later on?
Are you sure the themes are the cause of the crash? If you remove the
themes, it won't crash anymore?
In other words: do you have reproduction steps?

If you start from a terminal, when it crashes, do you see some error
log output? Because just "it crashes" is not a very detailed report.
Some error output might help us.

Apart from this, nice work on theming GIMP. Keep up the good work. :-)
