Luna Royale
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
This is my first metacity theme, based on a Windows Media Center style (I disovered it thanks to this software for windows xp http://xpero.msfn.org/). I made it for make easy the change from windows to linux...
Now I'm making the panel bar (gtk-2.0) but gnome don't paint well the notification icon's alpha channel when a background image is painted, and I don't know how to change the colors only in the bar... in the pannel bar screenshot the minimized windows text should be in white but is in dark blue...
For install it:
Uncompress in your /home/user-name/.theme folder and then go to SYSTEM -> PREFERENCES -> THEME

That said, I hate the way Vista looks and I can't believe how many people are trying to port all of it to GTK/Metacity :)
The above is ofcourse just my opinion.

Its not just Windows however, there is a working port of Clearlooks for Windowsblinds that is getting rave reviews in Windows land. Its just people who think something is nice, want it too :) I am sure people will get pretty sick of Vista when it goes gold...that is when they stop those BSODs, heh :)
This is just the way of people jumping on fads and whats new. Personally I agree with you and dont think Vista is worth copying in the slightest (whats the deal with the close button being bigger than the other two?) but it doesnt bother me much. No one forces anyone to use a theme and if someone wants to spend their time making Linux look like Windows 3.1, then by all means let them ;)

Why not go bother the guy that ported the Opus3 themes to Metacity? Those were Microsoft Visual Style themes that weren't made by Microsoft.
You (the theme maker) should definatley reconsider the name. I believe this is called "Luna Royale".

Maybe I should port Reluna, or better yet Recurve... ^.^

And, I think that in linux you can customize it in all features and, if you can, why not ?
