sadly not. I've been searching for that too for some days, then started to adopt
an existing one and adjusted values (very little). also I found that many themes
are just adoptions of other ones (much code was confusing because many people
tried something out). I also can't say that I found "many" good themes (I mean
grey themes, that don't draw attention away from the canvas). But after some
weeks of trying themes I always switched back to the system themes of Linux.
