Lowfat Lefty (Emerald version)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Just a slick, clean, fat-free decoration that won't distract. The goal is not a bottom-up new theme, but a careful, incremental improvement of some already good work. It's my first upload, so useful comments are appreciated.
It's a standard Emerald theme using VRunner engine. This is heavily modded from DBO's "Scaled Black Mod" which is a mod of twigsby's "Scaled: Black". I don't know which of these guys/gals made the buttons, but the Help, Sticky and Above buttons are all mine.
GTK is Glossy, Icons are a slightly modded Ubuntu Studio set (I don't like the 'running man').

I've been using your theme for ages now, great work.
What's the name of that gorgeous font you're using in your screenshots? It looks like it has been nicely antialiased. Please post/link the font you've used and how you got it to look so good!
Looking forward to hearing back,

I noticed you had used a font called 'Perspective Sans' when I first installed the theme, but obviously my computer didn't have it installed so just reverted to the default 'Sans'.
I'll be sure to download that, and will continue using lowfat-lefty!

1) I was under the impression that smaller would actually save space (as opposed to the giant docks some people have).
2) They're centered because I like it that way. having them as is, but on the left or right wouldn't save me any space.
3) I have two because they aren't always small. My bottom one can easily fill the width of the screen if I have a few more more windows open. The top one can expand quite a bit, too if I put the user swap back in and my notifier fills up a bit. Putting all of this in one panel just cramps everything beyond usefulness. Also, I hate the panel drawers.
I hope one of these answers the question.

My only suggestion is reworking the window buttons. Firstly, I'd like to see them more prominent, especially the 'close' button.
Secondly, I'd like a 'minimize' button to replace the 'keep on top' and 'stick' buttons, because I use minimize far more than 'keep on top' and 'stick'.
Hope these comments help, thanks for a beautiful Linux theme!
