New Metacity Theme...

This is a new metacity theme inspired in part by Grand Masta's Panther theme and the Ximian

Industrial theme. Here's a screenshot:

The theme is not intended to exactly duplicate any particular look or OS, its just an

amalgam of different graphical elements that I find pleasing. It can be downloaded from:

Hacked Metacity Theme

Please feel free to play with the theme, modify, and redistribute. Also, it's my first theme

so feedback is appreciated.

I included lots of documentation in the theme so that it would be easy for others

to play with the theme and tweak it to their liking. The GTK2 theme in the screenshot

is currently being rewritten and will probably be released this weeekend, if

anyone is interested. If you feel like using this theme as the basis for a new theme,

please read the comments at the head of the metacity-theme-1.xml file. Enjoy!

The player is rhythmbox; at the time it was from CVS but version 0.5 is out now. The GTK2 theme is in progress. I am going to release it after I finish documenting the gtkrc file. In the metacity theme I tried to include enough documentation throughout the source so that anyone could customize it or build their own basic theme without having to learn all about metacity. I'm trying to do the same with the GTK2 theme. It's just taking a while, because there doesn't seem to be much good GTK2 theme documentation around. When it's done I'll release it here, as well as in the usual places.
