MetaTheme
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
MetaTheme is a project dedicated to unification of appearance between different graphics toolkits (currently GTK2, QT and Java).
The program is designed as a thin layer between toolkits and theme engines, creating unified API by which each theme engine can draw. The result is that every application uses the same code for drawing, making the appearance same across different applications. MetaTheme also adjusts behaviour a bit, so the overall effect of unification is impressive.
Please see the new homepage at http://www.metatheme.org/ for more details about this project.

To fulfil this requirement MetaTheme provides through it's API only things that can be fully supported in all supported toolkits. Also each toolkit has a different set of widgets, so using theme engine from another toolkit is not sufficient for full unification.
At this time, MetaTheme supports only QT/KDE and GTK2 toolkits. But in future it will have support for others (like GTK1, Java, Mozilla, OpenOffice, and maybe others).

I'll test and perhaps join your Project as soon as I get the broken GTK2 libs on my machine fixed.

mt_gtk2_draw.c: In function `draw_box':

So I removed "default:" in line 195 of toolkits/gtk2/mt_gtk2_draw.c and it compiled. But gtk2 apps don`t get theme and give an warning when runned from a terminal:
(xchat:1867): Gtk-WARNING **: /home/elocal/.metatheme/toolkits/libmt_gtk2.so: undefined symbol: _gtk_scrolled_window_get_scrollbar_spacing
QT apps seem to work fine tough.

Can you tell me what version of GTK and GCC do you have?
I've made a patch for the last error you mentioned. You can download it here:
http://jezek2.advel.cz/projects/metatheme/metatheme-scrollbar-spacing-fix.diff
Apply it by running this command in the metatheme directory:
patch -p1 < metatheme-scrollbar-spacing-fix.diff
Though it may not work, depending which other changes your GTK version has.
