OSX Tiger-ish theme for gnome. Requires Clearlooks and Pixmap engines
Contains more eyecandy than ordinary T-ish-Brushed themes, but also need more resources. However, it's still one of fastest themes with overlay effect.
Based on T-ish Brushed.
And yes:
For best results use OSX icons,jaguax mouse theme, and Brushed firefox skin (links below).
TO-DO:- many things :))
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- panels cannot be transparent
- only upper areas (titlebar, toolbar and menubar) are overlayed. Sometimes it requires some gnome tweaking to achieve seamless look but contributes to speed significantly.
- some widgets does not behave correctly (gnome foot icon beckground in nautilus) and there seems to be no way to do it right.
- dialog windows background not overlayed. Help?
- menu backgrounds should be non brushed. To anyone, how can I turn off inherited gtk property (eg. pixmap backround) in child element? Is there a way?

metacity borders have TRANSPARENCY in apps where RGBA is enabled (terminal, awn-manager, system monitor, ...)
I AM NOT USING COMPIZ, just xcompmgr (-c -f 15), and in fact if I kill it windows borders return to their full opacity (dark grey).
First I thinked that the theme was made like this, but reading the metacity-theme-1.xml file I haven't found any transparency option, and colors haven't got alpha channel...so I thinked...maybe metacity doesn't draw the borders, it draws only the buttons (it already happens with many mac themes, like t-ish aquastyle) and the "borders", that doesn't have roundness, could be the window backgrounds, whose opacity could be set by xcompmgr...is it possible? in effect, if I change the window background in the Appearance window, the color and the opacity of the border change...
sry 4 my english...

I have found one problem, however. The bars you use to adjust things like volume, transparency, etc, etc... are still the same as from the Human theme.
Fix that, and it'll be perfect, imo.
Also, you may want to update the link for the firefox theme to (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4927). The theme you have linked only works with older versions of firefox.

However you could try it yourself. Just go to themes folder and try to change brush images.

Metacity buttons:
Start gconf-editor from console.
Or on ubuntu: go to:
Applications->System tools->Configuration editor
when gconf is started go to:
apps->metacity->general
and into button_layout field put the following values:
close,minimize,maximize:menu

You'll need xcompmgr installed. Then you can start it with:
/usr/bin/xcompmgr -sc -t 2 -l 2 -r4 -o .70 -C
I suggest you to put it in some startup script for gnome session.
But mind you, it will slower you down.

It is a side effect of xcompmgr that I use for window shadows. Panel is standard gnome panel.
If you are short on resources you can achieve this by starting xcompmgr on session startup and killing it immediately after or you can install gdesklets plugin "starterbar" which looks better than standard gnome panel but it's less
usable.

You may achieve the default panel on top behaviour killing metacity after xcompmgr has started/finished:
killall metacity
Note that metacity will just spawn itself again.

i have debian and xfce running. also i installed gtk2-engines-* so pixmap and clearlooks are available.
nxt step i copied your theme to ~/.themes.
now i'm able to choose it in user interface and it seems to be running well, but the window decoration is still default and i can't find t-ish there..
so what did i do wrong?
sry for my english and thanks for your help..

I rechecked the theme and it works well, so look at the :~/.themes/T-ish-Brushed-Overlaid foder and check if you have metacity-1 and gtk-2.0 foders.
If not extract them again.
Let me know what happend.

both folders exist, i rather thought that perhaps some packages are missing as xfce is a very small desktop if you use it out-of-the-box.
but the engines are installed and the whole theme looks well except the window decoration...
confusing =)
