The New Direction
As of Dapper, Ubuntu's interface has been shifting from the infamous brown motif to a new caramel motif. But, in early builds of Dapper, I kinda liked Human better when it was orange (as it is my favourite color). Originally, Tropic was going to be an orange and green theme, but after learning about color coordination and saturation, I decided to take Tropic in a new direction.

The GTK Theme
I originally used the gFlat engine, then went a few weeks with Ubuntulooks, but my REAL GTK engine choice is the brand new Murrine engine, offering a nice contemporary Glossy look that seems easier on the eyes.
The Metacity Theme
Okay, so it isn't Gilouche anymore...or my modification of Dark-Vidal, it's the interesting looking Murrine Metacity theme, looked like a boxed out Ubuntulooks with a consistant glossy finish to the rest of the engine's style.
Icons
Human, since I'm aiming for this to be the new default on 7.04, I only want to use more complete icon sets, it looked good with Tangerine but I decided to switch it up when I switched GTK engines because Tangerine wasn't glossy enough to go with the new Murrine engine.
