I very much agree with you there, the human theme, although solid, is 
somewhat intense.

I've actually been working my way, personally, towards something 
similar; using what currently is easy available: New wave borders, 
clearlooks controls and tango icons. I am also going for a mainly light 
theme since _imo_ dark themes are strenuous.

I though you might want to have a look so I'm attaching two examples
here, first is with clear-looks default colours and one where I've turned
down the blue considerably... Since even though it marks the
"interaction areas" nicely, it stands out quite a bit if we are looking
for a discrete theme.

Is this ~something~ along the lines you were thinking?
