How does the theme look without compositing? Depending on compositing is still bad right now, as not everyone can use it or want to use it.

I've been using the theme for over a week and it's very usable in it's current state. The focus of this theme is to make something a bit different from the normal hybrid theme and demonstrate that brown can be beautiful while still saying Hey, is that Ubuntu?. A majority of all dark gtk themes is that a majority are black/grey. This theme is a dark rich brown with pronounced gradients on the toolbars. This may appear a bit obtrusive to some but the effects will grow. A majority of sites (Google Docs, Sprint, etc) use this type of gradient on their toolbars and it does give a modern dimensional appeal to it. Another common issue I had was with darker themes, is that they looked highly detailed with contrast during the day, but as the day grew on and the lighting environment darkened, the dark themes became a bit bland and washed out. I seem to have managed to mitigate that issue, at least for my eyes. The metacity theme is a modification of DiMetacity, by Ken Vermette, one the most talented artists to work with the Ubuntu community, I will make a Wiki page when I have some time, but overall it's mostly complete. All trouble applications seems to work as well. Thanks to SiDi for the suggestion of darkening the menu_items and lessening the gradients on the menubar. This proved to be a usability issue over time as the window border was not as pronounced. The menubar is now striped utilising murrine. Please report any bugs / suggestions.
