reminds me of the current google design paradigms. wish the creator would make this into a gnome3 theme (and possibly a dark version)? i would totally use it.

I'd be happy with a theme for that as well. Even some Windows theme fiddling could get that to work.

Yeah, it would be really nice to see some Linux themes inspired more by the core ideas of Metro and less by Apple's software design (which I find lacking). Also, I can't help thinking that this sort of design is very good for tiling window managers :).

  How hard is it to theme "linux"(KDE/GNOME/ETC)? I've never done it as I don't use the Linux Desktop (I need Photoshop) but I've always wanted to try and help improve the linux desktop experience. Is anyone working on a theme actively or know someone to put me in touch with?

    KDE-look.org might be a good place to start, http://kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=9 http://kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&..., if for nothing else then it can put you in touch with current theme designers.

    You can also check the GTK theming tutorial (for Gnome 2 and 3): http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes or get in touch with the design team at Canonical: http://design.canonical.com/ http://design.canonical.com/

  I'm not sure it would work well with tiling windows. Tiled UIs must adapt to very different window sizes and, probably, switch layouts accordingly.

There's a similar theme already called Elegant_brit. It doesn't look exactly same, but there's resemblance. Also in this concept window manager takes really much screen estate. Even tough it looks great while looking at non-maximized windows, it would start itching really quick when working in day-to-day basis. Also I wonder how concept author would replace lost functionality of menu bar... Finally, what bugs me most is that scroll bars are a rip-off from Ubuntu-like scroll bars. (I don't say that Ubuntu didn't ripped them off tho.)
