That was a huge concern for me when I first put together that Monaco test skin in the first screencap above. I wanted a darker design, but something that was aesthetically pleasing and wouldn't come across as sort of "dark and ominous." So when I made a lighter draft, I decided to go with what you just said: something upbeat, positive, and inviting. It's still Coruscant, and it's still a great cityscape image (although nothing beats the Revenge of the Sith Coruscant cityscapes), but it's brighter and more welcoming, IMO.
