working on a new theme

I'm trying to throw together using mostly other peoples art a new theme...  I've only opened gimp a few times.  I was hoping for some advice
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ight=gtkrc  <----this was a good start anyone got any more knowlege of the locations, layouts, and functions, of the various rc files.
Link to some files and screenshots

What is on that thread is probably going to change before I'm done but its a good indicator of the direction I'm going if your curious.  Help, art, and suggestions welcome.

Wow. I wrote that guide a few years ago when I was teaching myself how to make themes. I'm glad somebody found it and got some use from it (it is a bit dated though).

Since then I have moved to writing themes for the murrine gtk engine because it's so easy to customize.
