Looks almost better than the original mockup! Although the scroll bars are a bit blocky or squared or maybe big, but don't fit (for me) the overall appearance of the theme. Another point is the borderless version of the theme included in the tar.gz . The border is 1 px wide while the older

Most the comments from the theme so far have been that looks like OSX and that's not Ubuntu. Here's something to address that, I think. Might I suggest an alternate color scheme which would be more Ubuntu-like: http://dump.ambiescent.com/i/dust-color-1a.png

Other things that could be changed is making menu items/selected base lighter, with dark text. I'll leave those changes up to the opinions I receive. Also, I think I could improve the metacity titlebar further, since it's no longer unified and doesn't need to blend in with the menubar.

In terms of this Kith-Kith Mockup, I appreciate the colour scheme. It's calm yet beautiful. However the contrast between the title bars of the windows and the windows themself are fair to little. The titlebar should be a darker shade to draw the eye towards it, otherwise the eye is lost in the

In terms of the New Wave theme, I think when a window is inactive, that dark grey bar at the top (the titlebar and the area around it) should be a lighter colour for readability purposes. The out of inactive windows stands out way to and is just distracting at the moment. For example, have a look
