What I mean to say, is that it has old world "Curb Appeal"... Like from a Victorian "Painted Lady" all that's missing is the Wainscotting, Crown Moulding, and there we go... Please Please Please see this theme concept through to fruition, and don't just include an emerald theme, but please a Xfwm4 theme as well!
GREAT concept!
Ha, that's funny! I'm working on a theme like this for a while now.
I don't have much time to work on it but it will probably be finished in a few days.
My attempt was a bit different though, I used transparent buttons and control elements which was a bit tricky to do. Still have lots of things to do (progress at aroun 60%).
Here is a preview:

Holy "Insert Expletive" that luks totally badass! Neutronium sure needs a successor and luks like ur spot on! waiting for the release! this theme might get me back to gnome from kde! all the best mate!
The idea is not new; already saw yet in some old gtk themes... I think you should add some lines for Metacity into gtkrc like this one:
code:
############### METACITY #############################
style "metacity-frame"
{
# Focused title background color
bg[SELECTED] = @bg_color
# Focused title text color
fg[SELECTED] = @fg_color
bg_pixmap[NORMAL]="Others/window.png" # the path for the image to load as window background
}
class "MetaFrames" style "metacity-frame"
class "GtkWindow" style "metacity-frame"
################## F-SPOT ##################################

And, one more question, what line in the gtkrc file stablish the background on the menu display (not a color background but an image)?
Thanks the line is (standard [i hope]) in the menubar.rc EXEMPLE OF MINE MENUBAR.RC WITH THE IMAGE: ##FILE MENUBAR.RC style "menubar" { fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" text[NORMAL] = "#ffffff" fg[PRELIGHT] = "#000000" fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff" fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#000000" text[PRELIGHT] = "#ffffff" xthickness = 2 ythickness = 1 engine "pixmap" { image { function = BOX state = NORMAL file = "Menu-Menubar/menubar-gray.png" border = { 3, 3, 3, 3 } stretch = TRUE } image { function = BOX state = ACTIVE file = "Menu-Menubar/menubar-gray.png" border = { 3, 3, 3, 3 } stretch = TRUE } image { function = BOX state = INSENSITIVE file = "Menu-Menubar/menubar-gray.png" border = { 3, 3, 3, 3 } stretch = TRUE } image { function = BOX recolorable = TRUE state = PRELIGHT file = "Menu-Menubar/menubar-item.png" border = { 10, 10, 10, 10 } stretch = TRUE } } } ##END OF FILE
Thank you very much, and now... make some experiments... ;)
