Apparently you haven't seen GTK themes by Raster, here are a couple URLs
of it in action...

According to Mike McEwan:
| I suspect this has been done to death, only I didn't see it. Are
| people in agreement that GTK, despite it's programmatic beauty, is
| ugly on the eye, at least by default - I think so.
|
| Why is this, or are people's sense of the aesthetic generally
| divergent from my own (a possibility), although the advent of
| GTKSTEP would at least, in part, indicate I am not alone.
|
| I am not denigrating the blood, guts, sweat and tears that have
| undoubtedly gone into the creation of the GTK toolkit, but surely
| such efforts are, at least in part, about producing interfaces that
| are pleasing upon the eye.
|
| I'm sure that despite its (I'm being sincere here) programmatic power
| we're still left with something that has all the visual appeal
| (forgive me gran) of our grandmother's undergarments.
|
| Please tell me there are plans afoot to change things.
