openDesktop.org :
Dark indented theme inspired by themes like Ambiance and Dark-Linux.
You can change the menu button to the classic icon by replacing the "metacity-theme-1.xml" with the alternate no-menu-button version.
Comments please, this is my first theme in this style.

I used a blue & yellow for max and min. If you would like to put out an eXtrude emerald theme that has the colors exactly like your metacity theme, I have theme in my buttons file:

** Note: for the minimize button, don't forget to turn on the:
Bkg - Gradient Minimize
layer to provide the left border for the button. For the max button, only the color you want and the:
Bkg - Gradient
layer should be active so the button frame does not have a left/right border.

anyway, i noticed some odd deformities on the top left corner.
in your version: http://s2.kimag.es/share/65185726.jpg
in my version: http://s2.kimag.es/share/15720442.jpg
do you have any idea on how to fix it?
i think i will upload the classic version, giving you credit for the original emerald theme.

We will have to rework the corner pixmaps to get the rounding correct. I'll do that in the next few days.
You probably see the line due to you using a lighter theme. Just the opposite to what happened with the metacity theme.

Pull the new version:

Read the changelog for 0.2, it explains a bit about the rounded corner challenge in emerald. Basically, the gradients for the top and sides run in opposite directions making the corner transition a challenge.

I did the emerald theme, and it came out really well. (I think) Take a look. it is posted under dcrExtrude with full attribution given to you for you original creation.
About the corners, here is what I see with the theme:

it looks like the corners don't come together completely. Maybe that is just an issue on dark backgrounds. No biggie. Thanks for doing eXtrude.

The only tiny 'nit' I can find is how the bottom and side frames come together at the corners. They leave just a little notch of black in between. I plan on doing an emerald theme for exclude and I'll do bottom left/right pixmaps. I'll send you a message when I've got it done (giving you full credit of course) so you can see if you want to tweak the corners in the metacity theme.
Still - one of the best themes I've seen in a while -- and your first!
My other favorites are Aeternum, DarkDream,AfterMidnight, AnimaNera, BlackBird, BlackRain (darkside port by MK64) and a few more in the minimalist black category.
If you don't have a deviantart account, you might consider one. That is another good portal for your themes. You can take a look at my gallery:

and a few others

These last guys do really good work. Enjoy.
