Actually, I doubt very much that there's much in there now that is even 
partially from Apple's site- in case you haven't taken a close (I mean 
*really* close) look at the pixmaps, it's been mostly redesigned with my 
own gradients I made from the GIMP. I created a simple Aqua gradient and 
I've been using that to redesign most of the stuff. That, and I removed 
over half the crap images that were in the GTK distribution of it. 

Of course, I still understand your point about the originality- which is 
why I'm going to be redesigning the Aqua theme to fit my own personal 
taste (watch out, everybody! : ) which means it'll take on a more 
greenish tint and feel kinda different- I've got some ideas on how I 
want to build it and make it feel different from Apple's 
implemenatation. Thoughts?
