[ubuntu-art] Graphite vs Heat theme

[Frédéric van der Essen]

It is true that our themes overlap a bit. The main difference i think is 
that Heat keeps a brown touch, while graphite tends to be blueish (maybe 
that's just a contrast with Heat )

I updated the theme to make it more like graphite, but i kept a brown touch.

You can also get the tango-aluminium icon set here :

I'll do a wikipage soon.
