My only guess is this:

You may have to adjust the \'gold\' colors in the theme to have it look gold on your monitor. I have noticed that there is wide variance between how monitors display colors to just tweak it a bit if needed.
The titlebar font is Stonehenge that you can download from my deviantART page:

You may need to change the titlebar font or download and install the stonehenge font from my deviantart site above. - May 30 2011

Thank you for providing the AUR link. There are not too many fellow Archers on gnome.org (yet) and this is one of the first AUR links I can recall posted. Thanks.
A quick download of the AUR tarball, extract, cd && 'makepkg -s', done :p
For those that haven't tried Arch Linux yet, all I can say is WOW!, you guys are missing out on one super true Linux distro. I say 'true' Linux distro because Arch has no corporate master. It is a true open-source distro with some of the best devs out there. It is also a 'rolling-release' distro, meaning that you are never forced to upgrade to a new version. Each time you do a normal update, you update to the latest version. No more having your release go out of date. While Arch is fairly simple to install, it doesn't come with training wheel, no fancy gui installer, just a simple text mode installer and an excellent wiki (one of the only useful ones I've see) and mailing list if you need it. Not to mention, Arch packages are usually 1-2 minor versions fresher than your major distros. (often packages are available less than 24 hours after being released upstream)
Thanks again for the AUR link and I couldn't resist the plug ;-)

That's the way open-source should work "start with a great idea, and let the community help make it better"
Great job on the wallpaper. - Aug 31 2010

You can grab it and tweak it to your liking and re-release it. It's just a bit easier on the eyes. I won't post it on gnome look as a mod if you want to post it as one of yours (saves me time :-) - Aug 27 2010

I also put out a slightly lighter framed version on deviantart. Go take a look:
http://drankinatty.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2vluct
I like both, but some may like the lighter focused frame. It provides a bit more contrast between the focused/unfocused windows. When it gets to the point of finalization, I'll shoot you a note. I'll look for your account on deviantart. - Aug 04 2010

You have the new version for the corners, etc.. For some reason kde-look had the 'original'. So I posted the updated version here at kde-look. The only changes kde-look has that you don't have is a few new buttons for help, shade, stick and on-top and the un.... counterparts (just drew the ?, circles and arrows over the buttons). Grab the latest buttons file here:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/buttons/square/dcrExtrude/buttons.all-18.xcf
one cool concept developed :-) - Aug 04 2010

Good Job -- Thanks. - Jul 30 2010
Pull the new version:
http://arch-stuff.org/content/show.php?content=128074
Read the changelog for 0.2, it explains a bit about the rounded corner challenge in emerald. Basically, the gradients for the top and sides run in opposite directions making the corner transition a challenge. - Jul 29 2010
We will have to rework the corner pixmaps to get the rounding correct. I'll do that in the next few days.
You probably see the line due to you using a lighter theme. Just the opposite to what happened with the metacity theme. - Jul 29 2010

I used a blue & yellow for max and min. If you would like to put out an eXtrude emerald theme that has the colors exactly like your metacity theme, I have theme in my buttons file:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/buttons/square/dcrExtrude/buttons.all-18.xcf
** Note: for the minimize button, don't forget to turn on the:
Bkg - Gradient Minimize
layer to provide the left border for the button. For the max button, only the color you want and the:
Bkg - Gradient
layer should be active so the button frame does not have a left/right border.

I did the emerald theme, and it came out really well. (I think) Take a look. it is posted under dcrExtrude with full attribution given to you for you original creation.
About the corners, here is what I see with the theme:
www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/misc/eXtrude-corners.png
it looks like the corners don't come together completely. Maybe that is just an issue on dark backgrounds. No biggie. Thanks for doing eXtrude. - Jul 28 2010

Thanks for your interest. I just posted the font -- I didn't make it. Perhaps google might help find the original author. Good luck :-) - Jul 28 2010
The only tiny 'nit' I can find is how the bottom and side frames come together at the corners. They leave just a little notch of black in between. I plan on doing an emerald theme for exclude and I'll do bottom left/right pixmaps. I'll send you a message when I've got it done (giving you full credit of course) so you can see if you want to tweak the corners in the metacity theme.
Still - one of the best themes I've seen in a while -- and your first!
My other favorites are Aeternum, DarkDream,AfterMidnight, AnimaNera, BlackBird, BlackRain (darkside port by MK64) and a few more in the minimalist black category.
If you don't have a deviantart account, you might consider one. That is another good portal for your themes. You can take a look at my gallery:
drankinatty.deviantart.com/gallery
and a few others

These last guys do really good work. Enjoy. - Jul 27 2010

GnoMenu Skins by technoshaun 2 comments
I like the theme, but the large transparent areas at the top of the menu cause the menu to close before you reach the apps. Somehow that needs to be fixed. Otherwise it looks good. Make sure it defaults to favorites -- that makes a theme much more useable. - Jul 17 2010

I have to continually remind myself to do that as well. Sometimes, I even get requests for the gimp files as well and I'm happy to post them. If you are into gnome/linux art, then add the following to you checklist:

I have the latest xzutils installed, so that wasn't the issue. unlzma did not like the archive. file-roller didn't like it. Ark told me is was corrupt, but did go ahead and expand the file into what looks like a good directory tree. I'm just not sure of all of the contents.
I'll work on it some more, but you might want to check the upload. Looks like a killer theme -- thanks. - Jul 16 2010

Great Job!
I paired it with the Aeternum metacity theme and LaGaDesk-BlueNight icons and it is a work of Art:

You may be picking up on some of this:
I think from a wallpaper standpoint, it's nice to post 'blanks' along with the Ubuntu walls for people who like your work, but don't necessarily want to advertise for Ubuntu all the time.
Across all the distros people here use, I don't think there are any good/bad liked/hated distros. People use the good ones, the rest fall by the wayside. (A bit of technical natural selection if you will :-)

I really like the brushed look, it reminds me of the E17 grey-woods theme. I have a couple of suggestions.
First, it would be great if the gtk theme supported color themes so you could adjust the colors.
Next, the brushed look in the metacity theme is great, but the buttons -- let's just say they didn't render very well on my box... If you want, I have a number of buttons that I have created and borrowed that you can pick and choose from if you want. Just go to www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/buttons Choose from either the round or square sets.
Just thinking, you might like the round/radialthinnerblue set. Example:

Here is a screenshot of brushS with one of my blue emerald theme as window decor:
