I hand-picked the widgets that I really liked from Human 2. If anyone is
interested, I'll outline why below.

Very nice shading of the active and inactive entry bars, it's "soft".

Buttons: http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2982/theme2eb5.png

Rounded, yet not too rounded so they look weird. The shininess doesn't stick
out in your eyes and is done on both at bottom nicely (top more than
bottom), which overall looks better than how Murrine does it. Observe the
active button too, it has a nice orange highlight.

Here, you can clearly see that the button is pressed in.

Tabs + combobox: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/8852/theme4ft7.png

The combo box follows the button style, which is nice and makes sense. Tabs
do too, but remove the gloss - which is good, since tabs are always close
together and they wouldn't really blend in. They have a nice shade instead
going out to the edges.


That's about it, the rest of the theme wasn't too impressive (applications
menu and such). Oh and they do get bonus points for not making it mac os
gray.

(everything said above is my personal opionon and doesn't reflect anybody's
else, etc.)
