I would like to propose Silicon for Dapper inclusion. I feel that is complete and consistent, and will have a broad user base (roughly the ones that use the silver theme in Windows XP). Also, it is quite different in feel from the warm stock Human theme.Like the wallpaper in the metatheme addition. Didn't know we could do that.
Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/ThemingTricks. I'm sure you can chip in with a few words of wisdom on that page - your theme-fu is better than mine ;-P
As I've said before, I think this should be one of the three community themes. I'd only suggest darkening the progressbar, and lightening the range trough, so that the color is more consistent. Great job! Although, I have never understood square windows with round themes.
I'll look into fine tuning these colors to see if I can make it better. About the square windows; I was using the rounded one to start with, but somehow they just felt wrong. No deep philosophy - it just didn't feel right (to me).
On a side, I find it interesting that you note the slownesss of other metacity themes, while submitting a slow theme that is 99.99(% based on one you said was slow. I'm sure there was a logical reason for it though, so there's no reason to discuss it here, I guess.
I am very aware of this. The really short story is that I figured Human set the bar for acceptable speed - but we still need lighter themes, don't get me wrong. And still - it is a skajillion times faster than a pixmap theme on my box. Anyways, feel free to mock me about double-standards ;-P
