Lunacity
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is a pixmap Metacity theme based off the Luna graphics on Windows XP. I made it out of boredom one day. I also couldn't find any other good Luna themes for Metacity... most of them were lame ones based off Clearlooks and were only Luna-style in the fact that the X button was red and everything else blue.
So, I created the blue one first, then the silver one, then decided to make a pink one based off the silver (there aren't enough pink Metacity themes around here).
To those of you who couldn't find the start button (because you couldn't just search this site for "start button" and find it), I got it from here:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/cristal+start+buttons?content=57477
The GTK+ theme in the screenshot is a modified Linsta3.
Update: added mirror links for all the files, just in case my server goes down like it did for a few hours this afternoon. :)
Update (Version 0.02):
I decided to rename the theme Lunacity (a combination of Luna and Metacity, since Luna themes do exist for other window managers, and because I don't plan on making a GTK+ theme, this name fits it better).
I've added the olive green theme, making this a complete Luna set (plus pink). Also, maximized windows lose their curved edges and borders now, like they should.
NOTE: All four themes are included in the one tar.gz file, so extract it and then install the particular themes that you want via their tar.gz files within.

so many ugly and lame makes my eyes so tired,
for me, this Metacity is clear, bright, and beautiful. it has a good 3D effect.
i like it very much!
thank you for your job!
in these four, i don't like the Pink and the Silver, because they seems a little lame and lack 3D effect. i hope they can like the Blue and Olive.

I'll tell you why; because you're booting it off a thumbdrive at work, and you don't want nosy techs to notice that you're not using there shitty software.
this is perfect for me, thx!

I on the other hand would notice the instant I clicked anything... the lack of the simple sharp shadows on drop down menus, the fonts, the probable fact that a small section of the "start button" (assuming you mod this to fool them too) rather lights up where it shouldn't, or doesn't where it should. I would hope that EVERYBODY notices the fact that the "start button" would also have no unique "pressed" state :p

See for yourself, go into Windows, take a screenshot of a Luna-themed window, go back to Linux, and compare the screenshot with the graphics in the Lunacity set, they'll be exactly the same. Any discrepencies in "roundness", I'd say, is a bug with your Metacity engine, because the actual PNG files should and do match up perfectly with real Windows windows.

Why anyone would want their desktop to look like the loser operating system that Vista is is beyond me. I disliked it so much that I've switched to something with GNOME for the default desktop, and I went with Ubuntu, in fact.
Besides, even though some may not like its default brown color scheme, Ubuntu is, after all, making a visual identity for itself on the desktop, and that's part of how you make your business known is to have a certain look and feel, such as, for example, Coca-Cola's red and white logo. Same thing goes for Ubuntu and their brown, copper, gold, and orange default desktop appearance.
That said, however, there are quite a few people who are currently Windows users who are considering a switch to Linux, and for them, yes, I'm pretty sure most of them would feel a lot more at home if a Windows-ish look were present. As for their attempts to look Vista-esque, I understand what KDE is trying to do here, but it isn't for me.

# 3 You may NOT redistribute the source code on your own website without my permission. Just e-mail me for permission and I'll probably allow it, but I want to know what sites my software is used on. If I find somebody offering an unauthorized download, see rule #2.
# 5 You may ONLY recompile the program for personal use.
Either change the license or change what you state on your site since this is most definitely *NOT* what the GPL states.

At any rate, now that I know, the files are just hosted on gnome-look now. :)
