This gtk+ theme is based on the eGTK theme.
I tried to make the theme a little slimmer (smaller icons, smaller widgets, ...)
This is just another small step on my way to create an OSX like desktop. Though I have to admit that my Mac OS X 10.6 looks still much better ;-)
Future plans:
* Get rid of some graphical glitches (comboboxes)
* Add better firefox support
* Update icon set
* Improve visual style of tabs (eg. nicer close button)
* Customized iconset
Problems:
1) Nautilus is partly transparent: either edit the gtkrc in the theme folder and file and set "rgba" to "FALSE" or use gconf-editor to navigate to "apps > nautilus > preferences" and enable / disable the "rgba_colormap" key.

2.3 - Macified the toolbar buttons (no more borders)
2.2 - Fixed software-center searchbox
2.1 - Minor improvements for spinbuttons
2.0 - Minor changes/improvements to text and comboboxes.
1.9 - Fixed a bug with GtkScales
1.8 - Evolution toolbar update
1.7 - Updated dialogs-icons, combo and textboxes.
1.6 - Finally with icons. Sorry for not including the icon set up till now ...
1.5 - I finally managed to slim down all widgets.
1.4 - now nearly all buttons are slimmed down now. Some further refinements (scrollbars, buttons, comboboxes)
1.3 - updated the comboboxes and textboxes
1.2 - some improvements for Nautilus (sidebar, tabs)
1.1 - replaced hardcoded fonts settings. Theme should now apply the Gnome standard font settings.

Additionally I want to perfect the overall look of the theme, eg nautilus, evolution, firefox. Currently I'm relatively satisfied with the theme, but there are many graphical glitches I want to get rid of.
To accomplish all this, I think I have to rebuild the theming part from scratch. This perhaps will take a few months or so, because currently I simply don't have enough time.
If your are willing to help continue this project, best will be to simply dig into the gtkrc code and look how thinks work. You will see that there are plenty of "hacks", eg for all the 4 different types of comboboxes which all look and work a little bit different. Perhaps you can identify dead code, that doesn't do anything or stuff like this.
Regarding distribution, you could research on how to make deb files or even provide a PPA or stuff like this, as the current method of supplying a tar.gz is not the best thing.
Furthermore, if you have any ideas for improving the look of a certain app just drop me a mail.

Provide the deb/ppa you're using and I'll try to fix the theme. Btw, I used the am_monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa - maybe that's the wrong one?

Look at the screenshot: http://img59.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1la.png
The metacity border has the color #e5e5e5, the window background directly below the window border has exactly the same color. Even if I disable gnome-globalmenu to display the menubar inside the window, there is no problem with the colors.
Btw, the toolbar/menubar uses a very soft gradient - maybe that's the problem?

I found a flaw, however: the color of the metacity theme is lighter than the color of the rest of the theme. You can correct this problem?
the problem only occurs if I add nautilus-elementary adding their repository
Compliments beautiful work

The problem is, that the guys who compiled this nautilus elementary did change something in the code that makes the toolbar and the sidebar header transparent (look at the red marked spots on this screenshot: http://de.tinypic.com/r/n3kakp/6).
But perhaps there is a way to compile it yourself and remove the transparency.

It might be possible (for me) to create a theme that completely applies the Gnome font settings. I'll look into this and if possible update the theme.

Btw, you need Lucida Grande to make it work correctly.

Look at this screenshot :

In red circles, this font cannot be changed (size or font). I'd like to use another font and another size, smaller, at 7 or 8 max, but I cannot. And, the problem is the same with every distro witch uses Gnome.

But I use Ubuntu, because it's the most widespread distributed (afaik) --> more support in forums etc.
Furthermore, I think that Debian has only (very) old packages because of security and stability reasons - correct me if I'm wrong here.
I don't think that Ubuntu is as bad as you state in your comment. But you're true, I never installed Debian.
Btw, can't you should be able to use the theme in Debian as well. If not, report back why and I will try to fix the theme.
