Of course not all, but there are some, which would deserve it. For example 
Crux should get a more smooth and classy gradient like DarkTab.

Gradient & Simple could get some buttons which more fit the theme, the buttons 
are a way to huge contrast to the titlebar if you ask me. (both are 95% the 
same, but gradient has (oh wonder) gradients and there's a tab-enabled one on 
the wiki, I think we should drop simple in favour of gradient).

So with modernized I meant improved, not redefined or reinvented.
