I suggest you look at some existing pixmap themes and learn how they are
made. Apart from the centered menus, everything looks possible with a
pixmap theme from the mockups. There is more information about creating
GTK+ themes here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes

Some socumentation for the pixbuf engine is available here:

I'm seeing what I can do about it, am looking at the documentation, but I cannot do everything by myself. OpenGEU is, as the name suggests, opensource. So, even if I'm the project leader and foundator, I am not a coder or a gtk themes expert.. it's sad to see that if the project needs something as simple as a GTK theme, I have to do it myself and nobody shows up to help. While, sometimes, to code entire new softwares, I do find people helping... well, thanks for you answer aniway.

Greets,
