I like Maks' modifications better (not to offend anyone here).
But: 
1) widgets still look like to blurry
 check top part of buttons, scrollbars

2) scrollbars's arows and listboxes' arrows are HUGE
I know this issue was addresed soem time ago - but ANY kind of testing would 
be useful only with well-sized widgets. Before this, it's too early to say 
wether widget looks ok with this color, or not.

3) Window Decoratiojns - they are BLUE on all screenshots!
No respect for theme colors (color scheme).
To tell more: Atlas and Win2k colors look like incompatible with this 
(Keramik-Blue) Window Decorations.
