Heron is supposed to be clean and simple and to adapt to many kinds of wallpapers.
This Version is optimized for KDE 4.2.
I will probably stop maintaining this theme and focus on Silicon.

you can easly install it from my repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cornelius-maihoefer/ubuntu hardy main
and install the plasma-themes-extra package.
then just change the following file ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc. Replace the word "default" with the desired theme-name (Heron, in this case).
Cheers.

* you're missing the metadata.desktop file (yes, I know I'm to blame for that one :) )
* the theme.desktop is not needed (again, mu fault)
* you haven't embedded the pixmaps (PNGs) into SVGs so your theme doesn't work - inkscape places absolute paths as links in SVGs, so it searches for /home/magaden/Develop/Plasma/heron/topright.png and other files which don't exist on most computers :) (finally, this one was nat my fault)
You have a nice tutorial for writing plasma themes at http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Theme (includes info about embedding pixmaps)
Cheers, and keep up the good work!

And I think you should make the preview in png format (or higher quality jpeg). I'm not sure, but I think that would result in better quality, because now it's kind of poor (and it (the current lower-quality preview) might convince people that that's how it actually looks, which would be a shame for such a nice theme).
It's weird how quickly a little text becomes a lot of text.

Or move those dots to other hours and then replace current once with solid white small line (like 2px:6px long 2:6)
But i really like style.
