i'm making my own version a reality.
my work so far: http://www.2shared.com/file/wJAeB3V2/workingtar.html
no screen on this small monitor can really do it justice, so if you want to take a look, just download it ;)

hi ceebeebg,

first i `d like to answer your 4 questions. i slipped them the last time.

1. yeah, you should do
2. yeah, i `d use it
3. i `d use murrine engine, because of its possibillities, availability and its speed
4. (this answers your question to me as well) hmm, i `d like to help and could try something, but currently i have to work a lot, so this could really last.

You can make something close to your mockup for the notebook with the pixmap engine, but tabs must either overlap or not have roundness.

It looks very interesting. If you are able to put the tabs in the middle it would be great!

the only thing is that the scroll bar is so big, but it should be easy to improve :D

What I don't know yet but, if a few people get involved we'll share the workload for now though it would be interesting to see some window control ideas...

Looks good and you should carry on.

I think the scrollbar blends in too much though. You should make it lighter to improve the theme's usability

Thanks for your feedback, Scrolls huh yep they will move through 4 color states depending on activity but yes maybe a little more contrast...

You do a lot of work for and with gimp and your Gnome Shell work has been first rate - any chance you could knock up a matching shell for the thing? :D

Thanks.

It would be a bit tricky because GNOME Shell doesn't support non-uniform borders yet and your theme has some tricky inner bevels.

The CSS3 in GS is a bit limited but hopefully the devs will add these features at some point.

Exciting developments old Gnome supporting css and more, If you get the spare time or inclination to see how close a match might be possible it would be great... thanks again...
