This Emerald theme is heavily inspired by Chromium, Bespin and Oxygen.
Feel free to add any suggestions and requests.
News
I've managed to duct tape together a Metcity version. If you prefer using Metacity I recommend you to try it out.
Ordinary Metacity
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=127948
What's included?
4 color variations for the default Ordinary emerald theme (orange, blue, green, purple). Can be used with any theme that uses the color #d8d8d8 as window color.
6 color variations of the default theme but with a semi transparent look.
Emerald theme for Dust and Dust Sand
Emerald theme for Ubuntu Ambiance
Emerald theme for Elementary
Emerald theme for Shiki-Colors (Brave, Human, Noble, Wine, Wise)
Future plans
I'm considering porting it to KDE4. There Aurorae and Dekorator look promising.
Usage
The default color themes work best when the window color is set to "#d8d8d8".
All the other themes should work with respective recommended GTK theme. Meaning that Ordinary Shiki Wine works best when used with the GTK theme Shiki-Colors Wine.

Can you make a version with a glassy transparent theme?

I always wanted to experiment with a semi transparent theme. Hopefully it will suit your taste, otherwise I'll just have to work harder on it :D. Since I have to admit that the transparent themes were done in a bit of a hurry.

I prefer your 'ordinary dust theme' which has a black background for the title. Because I like the dust-theme and your theme blends well with it. Could you make a version that combines the two: a black title background (as in the dust theme) and a black glass-like background for the rest (as in your 'ordinary black glass'-theme)
Yes, I know I'm not an easy customer...

Just for reference: The color for most gtk-themes is #D8D8D8.

A Metacity version is on the way. But it's taking a bit longer to create since I'm not too familiar with the Metacity XML theme format yet.

and i can say, if you manage to make titlebar height resizable, that theme will be awesome.
thanks dude.

i fisrt used ordinary orange. i tried to change the title bar height, but title bar crashed. i then tried to use the ambiance theme, but there was no ambiance theme to edit.
if you can solve the problem esp for ordinary-orange, this will be my very favorite theme.

However I am making the titlebar a little bit bigger, since I noticed that some icons get cut off as it is right now.
