I have also been using brushed with modifications, I have the highlighted menu bar and window title bars, and use metallifizer also, but since updating to 10.2.3 I have switched to aqua for the first time in over a year, its actually a nice change, but when the brushed for 10.2.3 is finished, I'll probably come crawling back...

LOVE the transparent black menus - do any of the theme changers support "options" (ie subtle variations in themes that themers could include as preferences for those themes - widget colors, menu colors etc?)??
