You can now download the official Ubuntu Sun over at its Ubuntu Artwork page (link below). I've changed the name of this theme to "Ubuntu Sun X" to avoid confusion. Not very original but it'll do.
---
There are some really nice concepts at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Lucid/UbuntuSun/ of themes that show the sun and sky at different times of the day.
This is my attempt at implementing those mockups. They're not particularly good and could have quite a few bugs and other issues.
Thanks to plippo for the original idea and mockups. And thanks to fhainsen for feedback.

(1) is a known problem; I need to redo the corners using tints instead of arcs. The bottom has the same problem but it is less obvious because of the less saturated colours.
(2) is intentional. The original mockups don't provide any details with respect to interactivity but I had to do something there. Movement on hover isn't ideal, but it was simple to implement. I'm not a designer so if anyone has any suggestions here, that would be helpful.
(3) I'm not really sure what you mean with this one. I can't see anything wrong with it.

This is a very nice Metacity. Could you make one version that fits to this theme:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Karmic+X?content=112401
I think your dusk-version, a bit smaller and less of the colour-shine, would fit perfectly to karmic X. I hope you can take the time or someone else. i would do it myself but i cant make metacity-themes.

Unfortunately, I'm busy enough as it is, but if you'd like to edit Dusk to be more to you liking; look at lines 13 to 36 to make it smaller, and line 114 to change the gradient colour. Good luck.

I don't know to what extent you're still working on the mockups, but I'd really appreciate your input on the aspects that I had to decide myself; hover states of buttons, unfocused windows, ...that kind of thing.
Currently, I've just taken the simplest approach I could think of. But if you have a vision for these things, I would prefer to follow your lead.
