Hm. I never seem to get the hang of making packages. Sorry about that;
I'll try to make a new package soon.
If you're using Intrepid already, just drag the package (when I get to
it ._.) to the Appearance Preferences window. There then should some
themes available (click the "Customize..." button):
Controls:
Dust, Dust-aurora
Dust uses murrine, which is included in Intrepid. Dust-aurora uses
aurora, which isn't.
Window borders:
Dust, Dust borderless
Just pick one and use your desktop as usual.
