Hi Francois, as far as I know there aren't any instant-result tools  
for creating either a GTK2 or a Firefox theme. Both will probably  
involve fiddling with text files and checking the results at every  
step. We've got some people on the list with experience on GTK2  
themes, I'm thinking of our Theme Team leaders Chuck Huber, Who and  
Viper550.

For Firefox, you could take a look at the source for my firefox- 
themes-ubuntu package which tries to mimic the default theme but with  
different icons. The bzr branch for these themes is available on  
Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art-pkg/+branch/firefox-themes- 
ubuntu/ubuntu

For icons, you might like the NuoveXT set, available here:

I know this might not be the most useful reply you could've gotten,  
but I hope it provides a little starting point. Thanks for joining  
the Ubuntu artwork community, I hope we'll see you around!

With kind regards,

Frank Schoep
