It looks good, I think, even without the gradients so far. I like the
dark brown highlight that you've thrown in for the window list,
although I think the text is pretty difficult to read above it right
now.

I like the way that window buttons correspond very evenly to the
rounded titlebar corners.

Hopefully gradients won't be too much of a problem. The title bar
looks fine without, but the toolbars and status bars are both really
begging for it. (Particularly the status bars).

I found it fairly difficult to tell the difference between foreground
and background windows when just the title bars were visible. Fading
out the close button more (to the same extent as the text, more of
course if it already is), and adding that little glint of light off
the top (as in the mockup) may remedy that.

I'm not sure about the black menus, since these are foreground
content, and as a rule of thumb the Dust mockup has the foreground
content as dark on light. I am sure the kind fellow who did the mockup
has a thought to contribute there.

Nice work so far, Kido! Good luck with the rest; I love this theme :)

PS: Dust has almost replaced the PlanoLM + Clearlooks combo as the
theme on my laptop.
