This theme was inspired by Vista shiny buttons and incorporated with the style of MurrinaFancyCandy gtk+ theme.
When I was looking for a simply and shiny theme for my Macbook running Archlinux, I found Murrina theme engine and it's various good looking fancy themes. Among them, I chose FancyCandy and I made slight changes to keep it compact in widget size and coordinated in color style. I don't like too bright panel, so I changed it, and also the striped scrollbar is amazing!
After this, I still need a ideal window theme. The Vista Home theme for xfce4 is impressive though, I don't need wasted panel for my screen is not big enough :-)
I pick the shiny buttons from above and then work on my fully customized window decorators. GIMP is great and it fulfills my goals - keep it simple, functional and fancy!
From the initial of words I like and the color that matches, I name it Jadeite.
