THIS IS USABLE BUT IT WILL CHANGE FREQUENTLY AS I REFINE IT!
I decided to revamp pico gray, which has been in BETA for quite some time. I've been using pico gray for quite awhile, little things bothered me:
o min/max/close buttons fuzzy depending on caption color
o tabs were too bright
o highlight had too much gradient
o start panel too boring
o no name on start panel (i use several accounts when programming)
o task bar didn't highlight active window
o flash button not always readable (when using chat apps)
... and more
I'm concentrating on the Ubuntu flavor for now. Expect other subs (luna blue, black, xbox) like the other pico series.

+ trying different gloss and colors
* made some controls flatter
* changed a few higlights to be simpler
[02]
* shiny instead of 'bumpy' gloss on title bars, start panel
* fixed account name vertical positioning
* colored min-squares on windows, winflag
[03]
* set buttons back to default look
* slightly cleaner start panel
[05]
* combo box glyph, border
* progress bar chunk color
* increased contrast of inactive window min/max/close and title text
* other tweaks to make disable colors more consistent
[06]
* reduced all borders by 3 px
* changed start panel, i thought it was a little too busy
* MDI windows consistent with main window but not same color (i hate how visual styles use the same active title bar for the main and active mdi child window)
and i'm sure little tweaks i don't remember. let me know if you like old start panel better

transparent sub preview. opaque styles will be in final version.
I'm a big fan of your work. Everything is simple and crystal clean. May I suggest making the taskbar duo colored as well just like the caption? Yes please, a luna blue and black version!
Please change the logoff/shutdown dialogs. They haven't changed since pico tea.
Hmm, I've got to say, I'm not really liking the half-stripe, diagonal thing. As far as I'm concerned you reached perfection with pico gray 64 gloss with the square glyphs. Maybe you should leave pico gray as is and make something completely different. What happened to the alpha preview that was in pico gray beta? Keep up the great work, nonetheless.
i think you'll be a disappointed. it's just a bunch of tweaks and it's only the ubuntu sub without all the batch files. i'll add those back once i settle on the final style
