Dunno,

	Most of the themes I've just created by taking bits and pieces ideas from
different ones I like to ultimately end up with something I think is cool. I
think the one you were looking at was a color scheme called
dcrBlackGoldFinal.color with a gold satin desktop background. I've put all my
color schemes together in two bz2 files. One for kde3 and one for kde4. You can
grab theme here:

KDE3:

KDE4:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/kde4/dcrKDE4color-schemes.tar.bz2

just unzip the themes to ~/.kde4/share/apps/color-schemes (using 'tar -xjf
crKDE4color-schemes.tar.bz2 -C ~/.kde4/share/apps/' will do it) You can use
either kde3 or kde4 themes in kde4, there are only 4-5 additional color elements
in kde4 and they will be filled in if a kde3 theme is used in kde4.

	The desktop theme containing the wallpaper, etc is:

	There are several more variations and other Charcoal/Blue themes in:

Enjoy
