Description: An experimental theme to make use of pixmaps within the windowframe, creating a transparent look. The theme only looks good with the background that is included.
Included an Emerald and GTK-theme, no metacity-theme.
that"s why I called it an experiment. But as such it does work- using a pixmap for the window-background - but not as a transparency-replacer. The clue is findong a nice background that fits nicely at any resolution.
By the way: my Aluchristal-theme that I uploaded recently uses the same trick by using a metallic background.

I think you might be on to something. I don't really care for the water background but what If you used a plain glossy background? Don't give up.

It's a really nice idea, but I just don't think it works very well in practice. It's not your fault, really - just the limitations of GTK right now.
We really need ARGB somehow - through Compiz would be nice.
