Well, it's finally here! The day you've all been waiting for! :) The first release of my Firey 1.0 metacity theme!! I worked long and hard through the night to get this done, so you better like it! Well, not really, but you should still like it! :)
==========
I was told by 1 person that this was good enough to become the Gusty (next ubuntu) default!, but tell me what you all think!
==========
I've added a darker version because I made it and I liked it, and it's good :)

0.4 --> 0.6:
-added combined black glossy button look
0.6 --> 0.6.5 --> 0.6.7 --> 0.7:
-slimmed down the window frame
-improved the look of the text
-smoothed the pushed look for the buttons
0.7 --> 0.8:
-no borders when maximized!
-shaded view now has better look!
-unfocused shaded look now exists!
-Maximized look ensured at best
-normal windows, focused and unfocused, look better by 1 pixel! (the missing bit of line in the upper corners of the windows is now filled in!)
0.8 --> 0.9:
-new button icons!
0.9 --> 0.9.1:
-TRUE, borderless maximized mode*
(*in previous versions, the would appear to be no borders, but the space was still taken up, now it's really borderless :))
0.9.1 --> 1.0:
-added separators for the pill
-this (^(up)) in turn lead to fixing the other problem; the "chopped off" button when only the close/close and maximize were present. It's not perfect, but it's done, Hooray! :)
1.0 --> 1.0 Dark:
-everything (except buttons) darker
-slightly different text colours and shape*
if the screenshot is not up-to-date yet, please to not kill the web developers! :)

I can get a good looking theme without having to waste processing power on emerald by using what you've done. Kudos.

What I would really like is to have a slider that looks as nice as the top menu.
then I would have complete bliss.

I know what you mean - it feels "side/corner-heavy" :)

I wanted to use the Ubuntu Human theme but it just wasn't good enough. It didn't look fresh and modern enough to me.
These window borders have completely transformed the overall look of the Human theme.
Well done themer, thank you.

-needs to be borderless when maximized (this is a must for all themes)
-the close button should be more prevalent. when the mouse hovers over the buttons, the maximize stands out the most. thats not good.
keep up the good work.

Note to everyone: If you've been a frequent updater, do not get your hopes up that version 1 will be out in a few days! If you look above at what I'm trying to do, this is not easy! and then 1.1 will be even farther off, but...
Please continue to suggest new upgrades. If anyone is interested in "making" there "own" theme out of the parts of this one, know this: all of the new (0.9 and after) and old (pre 0.9) buttons will work with the old (pre 0.8) or new (0.8 and after) code!
Some features, like everything listed in the upgrade to 0.8 will NOT work with old (pre 0.8) code!!!

My list for changes between now and version 1.0 is this:
*borderless for maximized
*perfect button icons
-when not all buttons are present (like some windows only have close), make the close be the 'end of pill, instead of 'dangling'
and this one is optional, maybe for version 1.1 [VERY far in the future :)]:
scroll over the buttons like now to get function, but the icon will always be in the middle of the pill, and when pressed, the whole pill will go down!
