[ubuntu-art] Here's my hacked version of clearlooks and 3 themes to go with it. (updated)

[Matthew Nuzum]

xl, that does look good. The colors are a little bright for me, but I like
the way there's no dividing line below the menu bar.

I'm for adding this capability to the hardy theme. It's so simple and subtle
that most people won't notice it except that the windows feel less boxy and
cluttered. Subtle elegance.

Also, It appears you're not using desktop effects, so that may be the
difference, but I like the way the font looks in the title bar. Embossed
rather than 3d. I think it makes for text that is far more readable and less
messy. If that's something that can be controlled, I'd enjoy having that
enabled as well. I think the 3d text we have now may be a carry over from
the translucent title bars we had during the gutsy alpha period. Then it was
a necessity.
