Hey David,

regarding gtk2 themes, there are already a few themes published on AUR.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=gtk2-theme

Today they all have a common package name scheme, gtk2-theme-<name>.
I think it would be a good idea to adapt.

I am looking forward to see your themes packaged for arch. :-)

Greetings
Jens
