I have some preliminary results put up on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MikkelKamstrupErlandsen/HardyThemeStorm But is just a *very* quick hack only aimed at testing various reflections. I will put up some more over the next days. If other people are intersted in theme-engine-hacking I suggest you take a quick look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MikkelKamstrupErlandsen/ThemeEngineTricks - which should get you going pretty quickly.
