Which Icon-Set do you use?

the following lines make text input much clearer, since you can actually see the cursor:

GtkEntry::cursor_color = { 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 }
GtkTextView::cursor_color = { 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 }

There appears to be a few images missing from the package. Here's some output when trying to run Adobe Reader:

Otherwise, great theme! :)

Hi, first of all wonderful theme, probably the best dark theme for gnome.

Here is a screenshot fo bug with Progress bar: for thick bars the bar image/animation is too narrow to fill the whole thing correctly so it shows as duplicate:

Is that xfce desktop you are running? Just looks so cool. Are you using something else like nautilus or rox to draw you desktop and taskbar?

Bottom of buttons are cut off.
You can get them from the buttons.tga here

file-roller thinks a wba is a zip

The panel.rc's thickness and padding is too big preventing the panel from having 2 rows on even a 48 panel. Edit to this is you need 2 rows
style "panelbuttons" = "default"
{
xthickness= 1
ythickness= 1
GtkWidget::focus_padding = 1

Here's a shot of the buttons and panel after doing the above 2 things.

You can also see that nautilus browser scrollbar trough has the same prob as Alien and neOS, but I do not know the fix.

Other than that, I'd just like a scrollbar prelight. Cool theme!

oh....tooltips is unreadable, and since the bottom of the mcity is so big a maximize frame geometry w/o sides and bottoms would free up some maximized space! The active and inactive titles are in 2 diff places, though this could be on purpose, I guess.

You did a great job!
I really like this one.

One comment to the Metacity theme though:
The button glyphs get messy when switching focus of maximized windows.
