I myself am running Marrine, witch is a gtk engine, for handling high-end graphics and effects (translucentcy, transparentcy, glass effects ect... or at least that's what it is suppose to do) and i've ben getting some luck out of it, the only problem i have ben getting was from trying to find transparent/translucent themes for it

Also, i know that this is a off-topic question but, does ennyone know ware to find the "Emerald theme manager"?, I'm shure that it is available (I've herd of people using it in debian) and wanted to try it out.

Btw, here are some awsom screenshots of my desktop
