openDesktop.org :
Presenting Murrina Dreadful (in the obsolete sense of the word, though you're free to take it as you like ;)
Dreadful is: Flat. Retro. Gray. Its feelings are not hurt if ignored.
To make the theme more compact uncomment lines 16 and 59.
There's a fluxbox style, as well.
----------------------------------------
This theme started as a quick hack to strip the Murrina Humanity code base from the dark bug fixes and workarounds. To bug test it I threw something together loosely inspired by GNUstep and associated UIs. I was so pleased with the result, I thought I'd share. (I don't think it's bug free, yet. Tell me if you find anything.)
----------------------------------------
GTK+ based on and inspired by: DarkRoom by Kenneth Wimer & Conn O'Griofa, Shiki-Colors by perfectska04, and the GNUstep UI.
Fluxbox style based on carp by tenner.

- Re-wrote existing workarounds & added some for evolution
- More compactness in lists, & added options in the gtkrc for more compactness
- Background for menus, tooltips and selected-list-item were made lighter, while widgets (buttons, etc) got slightly darker. (After hours & hours of "testing" ;)
- Improved fluxbox theme.

Very clean , easy on eyes.
A more compact version would be great too ( many gtk themes have huge buttons )

Anything more substantial than this will considerably decrease the aesthetic appeal of the theme. But if you're feeling particularly brave you can remove all the "= theme-wide" and "= theme-wider", which will decrease widget padding.
There are a few more tricks, but I haven't experimented a lot with compactness to be able to help further.
Hope this helps.
