Speaking of New Wave here is what I've accomplished today with the gtkrc
file. All the grays are made to work well with the emerald theme.

There are some more issue still fighting me. 
	1. Why I cant set the bg of the menu to a pixmap?
	2. Why fg/bg[ACTIVE] doesn't work for the menubar? Is it the engine's
fault?
	3. How can I make a smoother transition between the menubar and the
toolbar or other widgets? Do you like idea of having dark
menubar François, anybody?

I attach the theme and emerald theme.

Anton
