Description: Metacity theme created from carbonit and other which get the GTK color theme in order to be always in an unified theme.
v2.5: - Some minor changes in colors look. - New look: ista
v2: - Fixed inactive buttons color - Two new looks of the theme.
If you are interested, I'm using: Wallpaper: http://stenosis.deviantart.com/art/Wood-Wallpaper-59069393 GTK theme: http://fratrip.deviantart.com/art/Aurora-Leopard-Suite-77225475
I have all three - and like I said, the issue applies to the screenshots as well. It isn't necessarily a bug, but it is a/the reason why I don't use it thus far.
I smoothed out the appearance by adding a line to the metacity file:
<!-- Draw the gradient on the title bar (top of the window) instead of using an image, on the off chance
that using metacity's built in drawing commands is faster/more efficient.-->
<gradient type="vertical" x="1" y="1" width="width-2" height="top_height">
<color value="shade/gtk:bg[NORMAL]/1.30"/>
<color value="shade/gtk:bg[NORMAL]/1.05"/> <!-- THIS LINE-->
<color value="gtk:bg[NORMAL]"/>
</gradient>
Somehow, this doesn't come up on my screen as unified (neither on my machine or in your screenshots) - there is a somewhat distinct border between metacity and gtk
great work otherwise.
Thanks! I have been looking for something like this...
Aesthetically, it makes more sense to grab the gtk color theme. I'm surprised we don't see this approach more often.

I like all of them. Specially, the planolm_round. planolm_ista is the only one that did not go well with my gtk theme. Great work.
It's great, and it looks great with elementary theme. I would love to have a "flat" version with no gradient, I will probably customize it soon...
Excellent work on this theme, panana! Using Clearlooks as a base theme, and then your Plano window borders - perfect!
Such a great theme, thanks for the work!
Whats the font you're using with that theme.
Sorry, I can't remember. It's possible it was Lucida Grande, but I'm not sure.
I've been using this metacity for a long time. I never grow tired of it. It looks awesome with the clearlooks-colors gtk theme. Great work.
Running this theme since a long time. I just wanted to thank you =)
great job what i'd like different: PlanoLM-ista: make square menu button highlight better title of focused window
Perhaps the gtk theme that you are using is not compatible with this. I recommend you to use aurora egine, murrina or defaults engines.
