Murrine Silk
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
Requires Murrine SVN.
This theme is based on the Cloudscape:
http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Cloudscape?content=102448
I found Cloudscape cool, but it didn't go well with my own xfwm4 theme, so I decided to modify it... Finally I've done many more changes than primarily intended "just menubar change". I've also improved its look in some applications I use (like Code::Blocks).
Ah - did I mention that I don't like the scrolling-buttons on the scrollbars? I finally managed to get rid of them! (well... almost, but you won't see them)
I am happy with this theme, and I hope you'll like it too :-).
======================================
If you are going to vote it bad, please leave a comment why.
I would like to create a good, bug-free theme, but I am unable to test it with every possible application, so your opinion may help me to improve it :-).

2009-06-02: Some minor improvements and the scrolling buttons finally removed using a trick, that works with OpenOffice.
2009-05-22: Changed the panel again - the dark one was not welcome by the users (it caused the rating drop from 53% to 38%, so this apparently must have been the issue)
2009-05-09: Reworked panel style - changed to dark (I hope it works ok with Gnome)
2009-05-01: Changed the menu hilights to lighter colors.
2009-04-27: OpenOffice does not accept scrollbars without steppers, so I had to add them. Also the listbox hilights are more flat (and thus more readable), and tooltip background changed to white.
2009-04-26: License changed to LGPL as the base theme "Cloudscape" is also LGPL.

I just have one question referring to this theme.
I found the same thing here with this nice window-border: http://linux.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/Murrine-Silk-Screenshot-47414.html
Can anybody tell me, which Windowborder this is?? I am looking for it everywhere.
Where can I find this nice Windowborder??
Greetings and Thanks in advance,
Karmicbastler

Unfortunately I cannot satisfy everyone - some prefer "glossy" look, while others like the "flat" and minimalistic ones.
This one is definitely the "glossy" one, but I tried to keep it readable :-).

To be honest - this resolution is cool when using some 3D graphics stuff, but it is painful in everyday use, unless you set the fonts about that big.
