imetal
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is a port of the imetal OSX theme by AndyBlac . It uses the pixbuf engine so it's a little slow, but i couldn't make an accurate port without it.
Now that Azel is finaly completed and released, i managed to update imetal too ... There is only one theme now, if you want to use globalmenu with it , just open the gtkrc file found inside the theme folder and change the line (it's near the end) :
include "Tweaks/tweaks.rc"
to
include "Tweaks/globalmenu-tweaks.rc"
and reload the theme.
In order to extract the archive , change the suffix to tar.gz .

if you are using the globalmenu applet and hack.
- Added shadows to arrows.
- Combobox and optionmenu now look completely the same.

Also, as much as I like the included toolbar icons, is there a way to use the ones in my icon theme.
Last question... I like my panel to be completely transparent. But when I set the transparency under the panel properties, my panel applets still have a background behind them. When I use compiz, the whole panel, including the applets and text dissappear. How can I remove the background from behind the panel applets?

You can disable the toolbar icons by browsing inside the theme folder imetal/gtk-2.0 , opening the gtkrc inside a text editor, scrolling to the very bottom of the text and commenting out (puting a # in front of) the line include "icons/iconrc" .
This is tricky, and a bug with the bixbuf engine. You could try editing the gtkrc file and deleting the whole panel section (lines 1370 to 1446). You should also reload the theme after every change you've made to the gtkrc in order to be able to see the results.
Sorry for being so very late in replying , i was serving in the military (obligatory in my country) so i was unavailable to say the least.

I've two minor issues:
1st) Evolution messages list-header is wrong at vertical mode.
2nd) The color set up at legacy apps (Motif) is too dark. I get the right color using
bg[NORMAL] = "#bbbbba"
instead of
bg[NORMAL] = "#979797"
I don't know what may be affected by this change, but since I use NEdit a lot, I prefer it this way...

Thus, one partial solution to handle legacy apps without spoiling the rest would be to add the line:
bg[NORMAL] = "#bbbbba"
to the style "gradient" (which is used only at "GtWindow" and "PanelDItemEditor" widgets at your case) keeping the default style with the darker background.
I'm unsure of which side effects this might have. It would be just OK if there is no inheritance of the toplevel window style to the children - I guess this is not happening since you specify the style for every widget type and use the "default" to the GtkWidget class specifically. I've tested and my NEdit windows keep looking just fine. I wish to know your opinion about this trick.

Also, thanks for the explanation about the default background setting. One could mess with .Xdefaults or ~/.gnome2/xrdb but then it would only work for a certain theme :P
There is another small bug: network-manager wireless power scale is not correctly drawn. Mac4lin people had the same problem (I guess since they derived their work from yours) and solved it some time ago. I *think* the fixing line was:
widget_class "*MenuItem.*ProgressBar*" style "progressbar"
which they place just after class "GtkProgressBar" style "progressbar"
at about your line 1670.

That is the correct place to put it too. It all works 100%. I'm glad this was figured out, because this is something that was making me avoid this skin, but I love it!
AWESOME work!

Since there is a full window gradient, a single bg color will always look out of place in certain cases. With that said, it makes sence to use either the uppest (bbbbba) or the lowest (979797) color of the gradient to make blending (where it happens) smooth. The reason i chose to use the lowest part of the gradient as a bg color is that the upper part of windows is usually covered with menubars toolbars etc, that are already skinned by the gradient or is skinned anyway as part of the GtkWindow . The rest of the window though, doesn't have a fixed structure so it makes more sence to have the lower part of the gradient as bg color.
