This is a Metacity theme based on the Homosapien mockup done by 0rAX0.
This theme now has a online customization tool (called Customizer - link below) that allows you to tweak the theme to *your* liking which you then download and install.
A special thanks to 0rAX0's for his amazing mockup, without it I wouldn't have been able to do this.
See 0rAX0's original mockup at http://0rax0.deviantart.com/art/Homosapien-mockup-152444481
P.S. Made for use with the Human theme.

v0.1
Created Customizer
The Customizer is an online customization tool that allows you to tweak the base Homosapien theme to *your* liking which you then download and install.
Want a smaller titlebar or how about a bigger one... no problem.
Want the menu icon to be that orange dot again or maybe just stick with the application icon... no problem.
Want to define the theme color independent of your system/gtk color or maybe just stick to matching your system/gtk color... no problem.
Hate those rounded bottom corners... no problem just turn them off.
If there is enough interest I'll look at adding more options like:
- buttons on the left like osx
- switch between different sets of buttons
- add a colored border (like the Homosapien 2 mockups)
- your suggestions

You just set a new standard when it comes to metacity-themes!

plus maybe an option to use the gtk background, not only the selected-item-color … if something like this is possible.

maybe i should have said "add support for displaying buttons on the left" as the theme doesnt look as intended if you do this currently

Count me as +1 for the wish for "buttons on the left" as a future option for the customizer!

I'm also a +1 on the wish for a utility window variant, that would definitely add some class to an already classy theme.
I also want to "bump" my wish for something being done about the buttons on inactive windows. Maybe the bytton colors are fine, but I think they should be more defined or outlined, rather than just having an overall transparency added.
That is, however, a detail, and I am really loving this theme!
