I think we must try to make a theme with murrine or clearlooks (or
hybrid?). We have to think back to something feasible with clearlooks or
murrine. We can consider murrine-svn but I don't know if it can allow
the proposal of Francois and if the day of murrine release is compatible
with Ubuntu Intrepid Timeline.

We can try to do something similar to what Francois proposed with
clearlooks or murrine. Maybe with murinne we can make a more similar
effect.

Certainly is not good idea to use pixmap-engine.
