Brad's mockup is much more resolved than the above New Wave test, though
i liked Francois' original mockup just fine. 

i'd like to see an implementation as-close-as-possible to what was in
Francois' original New Wave mockup (min/max/close titlebar icons
included!) and take it from there with adaptations where necessary
(ideally after testing it)..

what i am most worried about is the early dependence on Compiz.. do drop
shadows really matter? i know Cory disagrees here but shouldn't you
complete a theme without Compiz dependence and then work toward it as an
extra?

i teach with Ubuntu on a regular basis at university and in several
cultural centres: one of the first things i do is turn Compiz off as it
simply doesn't play nicely when one is programming 3D graphics
applications (a topic i often teach).

keep up the good work,
