i do like that other blue version as well...

this is nice, but much more of a saturated blue. very blue-ish.

just a word of caution with the titlebars... this is probably just something peculiar to me, but i just can't use a theme that has other horizontal lines running accross the title bar, if it interferes with the text. so if you could make it so that the text of a window sits well with that horizontal line....

I think that would work. But one more feature request: I like my Finder windows to look the same, regardless of whether they're "metal" or "Aqua". Can you use the same titlebar for both types of windows? You didn't do this for Blueprint, which bugged me a little bit. Alternately, can this be done as a theme variant?

Ditto again.
I do love the title bar in blue print.. but like Mighty Mike T said... can you make the same titlebar for both types?
Other wise i like what you've done.
