Greybird Mint

'Mintified' or 'mintish' Xfce/Gtk theme of Greybird: Greybird Mint
I took the original Greybird theme via git and modified some things to fit with the Mint icons I get used to or things that I do not like in the original theme.
Things that were changed:
- Hover color in panel and menus as well as progress bar and link color is now green instead of blue (to fit with the green Mint icons)
- Tooltips background color is now grey instead of black (I did not like the black ones very much)
- Panel color is now light grey instead of dark grey (same reason here)
You might also look at the screenshots to find out what I have changed.
[strike]I do not intend to update my archive file each time the original Greybird theme will be changed. For this reason I provide diff files that can be applied to the original Greybird theme. No graphics were changed. I will update the diff files so that they can be applied to the original Greybird theme, even when it has changed. However, I will not check the compatibility daily. So do not hesitate to send me a message if my diffs are outdated.[/strike]
Archive file now comes with a complete theme. Patching is no longer required.

Prerequirements:
0. You can safely install the two following debian packages seperately (as they do not have any dependencies). The packages are taken from the sources for Linux Mint Debian Edition (http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php).
1. Make sure you have installed Mint-X-Icons. As a Mint user you shall be able to get them via apt. Otherwise, you can get them here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mint-x-icons/mint-x-icons_1.1.1_all.deb (content file #2).
2. In case you are interested in using the background image shown on the screenshot, grab it (and others) using apt (look for mint-backgrounds-xfce) or get them from here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mint-backgrounds-xfce/mint-backgrounds-xfce_2012.06.21_all.deb (content file #3).
Instructions:
1. After extracting the archive file, copy the Greybird-Mint directory over to /usr/share/themes. (You need root privileges to do this.)
