Hi, another problem that I have seen with this theme, is the Panel. The "Main Menu" on the panel, and the panel itself shows different colors. It looks uneven, what can be done to fix this?

no way. except remake the theme use other gtk engines. i don't know the problem of panel when i make the them use pixmaps engines. because i use ubuntu system panel instead of main menu applet.

actually, brushed metal face is not look to blend with all application. do you know the way different application to use different theme at the same time?

This theme is great and all; however, Firefox doesn't seem to take it very well. The scrollbars appear with a blue line on each end. The Openoffice and System browsers scrollbars appear in good conditions. Do you know what may be causing this problem? The problem is with Firefox only. Thanks.

i think this is the problem of firefox default theme. the solution has two way.

1. gedit ~/.themes/Brushed_metal/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
use below paragraph to replace original:

class "GtkScrollbar" style "Scrollbar"

result is scrollbar not beautiful than before

2. use customize firefox theme. to recommend ACE Safari Foxdie (https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/6124).

Oh hoho. I pasted the code you put and the problem was fixed, thanks a bunch!
