I made this theme of sorts out of inspiration provided by the various real world steampunk creations. And after two days of googling images and digging through Gnome/Compiz/xfce-look, I believe I am the only one to do this, or at the least, the only one to show it off. All image editing was done in gimp, the compass and telephone (firefox and pidgin respectively) icons are taken from a freely downloadable mac icon pack. The doohickey I'I'm using as a distributor icon is a Victorian-era pressure gauge courtesy of google image search. The accoutrement adorning my panel is still more googled finery, all of it has been color augmented, and the center plaque was hard to come by, the screws were added. The desktop wallpaper is victorian era wallpaper given to me, yeah, you guessed it, from google. The metacity theme is a modification of the "chocolate" theme available at gnome-look.org And finally, the skydome is the result of a google search for "antique map wallpapers.
Things i want to do but lack the skill for: Complimentary firefox3 theme, brass plaque metacity theme, complex clock mechanics wallpaper (for the skydome), full icon theme, and possibly, ornate imagery as a gtk theme.
I'm willing to share if anyone is interested but i sincerely hope the people interested are interested enough to help further this concept lol.
