Hello, this is turning out quite well, but please don't use the contrast option. Just look what it does to the toolbar separator lines. :) Currently contrast doesn't really do anything useful, maybe we'll completely change it's function later. And since you use a dark selection color for text, you should probably also make the text on menus white for better contrast (or make the background on selected menu items even lighter. I'd personally prefer a lighter text selection color all around).
Regarding your metacity theme, I kinda like the red highlight on the close button with this colorscheme. The overlay expands one pixel too far to the left though and if it covers the borders on the left and right, it should also cover the borders at the top and bottom. You should always check these kind of things with xmag. :) For consistency sake I would also suggest to drop the separator line on inactive windows, unless that's a feature you feel strongly about. Oh and shaded windows are still round, you probably want to change that. One more thing: You use the old version of the icons without a dark outline. It isn't very noticeable since the background is dark as well, but I would still suggest to use the new pixmap icons. I've attached you a version based on the latest (and hopefully final) work in progress with squared corners and your red-button hack, hopefully you'll find it useful. BTW, I also posted a monochrome version of Human here some time ago: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-artwork/+bug/34796 When I posted this, I had something like Apple's Graphite in mind; Just a neutral version of the default theme, otherwise exactly the same. I'm not happy with the metacity theme color anymore though and Human has progressed a little since then. I still think it would be a good idea to ship one theme that is exactly the same as the default but without the orange hue, but it's probably not so important if Dapper will ship with a bunch of great community themes already.
