Ok. Why another Mac-ish theme ? Well, I wasn't quite happy with most of the mac-ish themes available out there as none of them (that I know) were really up-to-date or taking into account a number of issues.
So, what I did is:
1-Design a brand new pixmap/clearlooks theme based upon the latest standards (I also took a lot of screenshots, and a lot of inspiration from the Gran Glossy P theme for the pixart).
2- I designed from scratch a new metacity theme based upon the human hardy metacity engine. All buttons were designed with inkscape and are thus in SVG format.
3- I chose not to make this theme entirely based upon the pixmap engine (clearlooks engine did the rest !) as I love to use a number of apps that actually don't like the pixmap engine so much...
As a conclusion, I'm happy with the result and now glad to share it. (Edit 21-04-2008 - I'm actually really proud of it !)
Logos, design and anything that make this theme look like the real deal are owned by Apple. Thus, not GPL at all !

2.5: Changed the metacity theme to a less 'obvious' one. In the eternal style. Also changed the scrollbars to squared ones.
2.4: Relased a matching iconset
2.3: Adjusted metacity title text color. - Fixed issues with some panel applets.
2.2: Slightly resized the check and radio buttons.
2.1: Major update. In the process of designing the matching iconset, I ended redesigning every single bit of graphic from scratch using inkscape.
ALSO, added notebooks graphics.

The interesting effect is in NetBeans 6.5 IDE (which is Java application, but uses GTK+ look-and-feel). There are both normal and "blanked" tabs:

Have you made more Themes.. being the same way of this one.. not needing any Engines.. nore anything, to work perfectly as simple from installing normally Ubuntu 8.10 ... Working exactly how this very same theme you made works?

One small niggle that I might even try and modify myself, the titlebar text of windows is a little rough to read, could stand a bit more contrast.
Otherwise top points. Best mac theme I've used so far.
