liked the emerald bar and darkness of older versions a bit better but hey at least i can read what i'm typing in fields with this revision. Great work over all :D
Dark - good in my book you have put together some nice styles with good color schemes. Murrine well not so good for me... I like the theme I have made a couple of themes which partially use the murrine engine but the trouble is that the new versions of the engine tend to make the old murrine themes obsolete.
In my case I was liking a lot of the murrine themes but when I switched to an older murrine based theme disaster I lost the desktop and could not recover it from the terminal. I had to reinstall the OS.
Maybe you might do something with other engines in the future...
I don't know what you mean when you say you lost the desktop because of the theme but if it happens again next time try to do the following:
1. cd /home/username/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface
2. open the file named %gconf.xml in that directory
3. Locate the following section:
<entry name="gtk_theme" mtime="1242631142" type="string">
<stringvalue>BadTheme</stringvalue>
</entry>
and change the name between the "stringvalue" tag to a working theme.
Just forgot to add to retry to login to your account and see if the problem is solved. If not you can safely remove the following directories in your userdir because they are just desktop config related: .gconf, .gnome2 and/or .config
This is a great theme. I like it more because you have not used pixmap. I really like it and using it also.
There is one problem though - I noticed that in firefox 3, for radio buttons the texts are too close to the radio button.

I am not sure whether it has anything to do with the theme or not, but if I change the theme to some other one then the problem goes away.
May be this is a problem at end.
$ sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential libtool autoconf libgtk2.0-dev
$ mkdir development && cd development
$ svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine
$ cd murrine
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-animation --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
Worked for me
