The Widget Laboratory
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
The Widget Laboratory is a desktop application for previewing gtk and metacity themes. It updates the preview whenever the theme files change, so it can be used to make editing gtk themes faster and easier.

Also, I usually have to install a theme in order to see how it works with the gnome panel. Will the theme look stupid with vertical panels? ...with panels taller than 24 px?
Can you address these in Widget Laboratory?

Also, to update the preview in the Widget Factory (ie you made some changes to the gtkrc) you have to select a different theme and then re-select the theme you were editing. This monitors the *rc files and updates automatically. Also you can load any .glade file to preview on.
