Murrina works fine for me.

1) Install pkgs "gtk2-engines-murrine" and "murrine-themes"
2) You can download also more themes here:
   http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/
3) Extract your new theme -> /home/User/.themes
4) Choose your theme in User Preferences, not in the Window Manager
Theme. For window manager i advise you to choose "Wildbush"
5) Have fun !
