Gday Adnan,
I find the Clickr theme particularly hard to read because of its large margins. The extra space these margins take up further squashes the dashboard columns, which because of the addition of user portraits effectively increases the number of columns from two to three.
The resulting columns run into multiple lines, which are not separated with a dividing line in the Clickr theme. This makes it difficult to interpret the information as a table.
This is ironic because I'm a big fan of the Clickr theme, mostly because it has automatic margins. I don't like text that runs from edge to edge because it's hard to read. Without the Clickr theme I add margins manually using empty column macros.
The case in point is the Recently Updated section. If you look at a single line you'll see two lines of text to the left and one to the right, with a portrait stuck in the middle. All of these objects are centre-justified vertically, and thus do not line up with each other. This is difficult to interpret. Is it a table? Does the information on the left relate in any way to the information on the right? Is it just a grid? The way it is at the moment it requires an assumption or prior knowledge, such as from a previous theme.
I think you'd make the page much more readable if you reduced the portrait size (24x24 might work), and put it at the beginning or end of the row. Then you can justify the text cells so that they run across the same line. That way you might not need to put a separating line in to differentiate between rows.
