I have seen screenshots of an application that lets you view all components, a theme preview app, this will be useful for me when designing themes, Does anyone know here I can get it?

install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org
Gnome Art is a tool for downloading and installing GNOME themes
from http://art.gnome.org/ website. It provides a nice theme list
with options to preview, download and install them.

That looks like XFCE to me. Do you think that makes a difference (as opposed to Gnome or KDE)?I thought it was Enlightenment. Anyway, it is a GTK app and runs just fine in Gnome. (I use Gnome and it works fine for me.) ThemePreview is pretty rudimentary, though; I often find themes that look great in ThemePreview but have flaws that are evident in more complicated GTK applications.

Sorry I couldn't reply. I live in Houston and just returned from Dallas running from Hurricane Rita. All is well.
