i think its to dull or drab too, but i think you want something thats
cooler, like a deeper blue or green, but not overly dark. maybe a
dark-grass-green, im no sure of a hex value, but that might look
better. also, i think the yellow highlighting should be toned down a
bit as its too "firey" for the theme and you need a cooler colour
there.

also, i think to many ideas are being combined, and there should just
be a split, and have xfce come with 3 default themes, a blue, green,
and orange-yellow one, because theyre all being combined, and its just
getting uglier.
