my post was not about panel transparency. the panel in my example is not 
transparent at all,

i simply provided a solution for the panel-menubar 
(="Application-Places-System") to be consistent with the panel by making 
the *menubar* transparent with an "empty" pixmap (the whole thing only 
applies to pixmap themes). this solution is more accurate than using the 
same image for both because of the different resizing modes that i 
mentioned in my previous post.

that was what Ken Vermette asked for, i think. hope that explains. by 
the way, does anyone know another solution?

I suggest staying away from the panel transparency as it doesn't work with all 
applets (some will still have an opaque bg). Maybe one day we will get real 
rgba support going across gtk and the panel and system-tray :-/

I used a TRANSPARENT MENUBAR on the panel when i created a pixmap theme 
with inverted panels. i know that most themes just have the same image 
file for both the menubar and the panel itself, but that can get messy 
because the panel and the menubar have different resizing behaviors (due 
to panel theming restrictions).
i guess the transparency solution can be used for other panel stuff like 
applets as well. so here it is (sorry for the weird layout, this is an 
old one):

The different background on the applications/places/system doesn't look bad,
it just wasn't the original intent. Great job on the panel buttons though!
Looks much slicker! I'm toiling away on the Metacity theme (I'm winging half
of this stuff, so I'm a bit slower than I should be).

Anywho, if you want to run rampant and go though the GTK, there's some other
known bugs posted on the Wiki - you seem to know more of what you're doing,
and it would be much appreciated since I have about 4 things on the go. ;)

Great stuff! Thank you!

Right now I'm fighting with panels. There are two problems with them;
 - The buttons on the panels are beige, instead of blending in with the
panels.
 - The Applications-Places-System use the wrong background, they should look
like the rest of the panel.

Everything can be downloaded at the WIki now. The GTK itself is a bit of a
piece-together, so I apologize for how messy it is.

I forgot to ask, but is there anybody with GTK theme experience available to
help me stamp some bugs out of the GTK/streamline it a little? I know there
are several (more/less) simple fixes, I just have no experience in GTK (and
the fact that this even has a working GTK theme at all still shocks me)

Main issues right now are almost all related to dark panels, and customizing
some panel applets. I'm posting the entire contents of what I have on
Wikipedia tonight (with bug warnings on the GTK) aswell a things I need
done. Since final submission deadline is coming up (and burning my heels),
time is a bit too tight. Obi-wan-anybodyatallplease; you're my only hope!
Any help at all would be -really- appreacted, like, endlessly.

The navigation bar and bookmarks toolbars will be dark-text-on-light, so no
fixing will be necessary. The firefox theme will primarily tweak the tabs,

Just a question, is your firefox theme going to fix the bookmarks toolbar as
well? Just curious, because your screenshot is missing the it. I'm using
Dust right now and I modified the userChrome.css to fix most of the issues I
have except for the bookmarks toolbar.

Hey Everyone;

Heres live screenshots of Kin Dust. Right now I'm tweaking the panels and
doing any per-program fixes for programs like firefox and OpenOffice (which
disagree with dark menubars). Similar to all the Kith/Kin theme derivatives,
when buttons are moused-over they have an "under the window" glow that
blooms on the wireframe... Not shown in the pictures though; I need to
manually edit images to show what the glow looks like, and I'm lazy. But if
you've used Kith/Kin Emerald themes, you know the glow.

http://raraken.deviantart.com/art/Kin-Dust-Live-96257933
http://raraken.deviantart.com/art/Kin-Dust-avec-Firefox-et-Avant-96261776

Things that are done include the firefox fix (but not a full theme),
emerald, modified Metacity theme (looks similar to the origional dust),
Avant navigator theme, Dark KithKin wallpaper, and the GTK (newest Murrine
version, panels still under work).

Things en route include customized cursors (similar to DMZ-Black), a true
firefox theme, more fixes (Openoffice, mainly), panel themes and KDE colour
sets.

Things down the road (provided I get some rubber on the road) will be custom
login and bootsplash images.
