#3 less gray, more shades
I think, in the pursuit of imitating os x leopard, we are still leap years away from exacting the theme. Like i already suggested to you, infrared, Can you reduce the amount of gray, especially tabs, and include lighter shades of gray or other color to differentiate.
In the end, I don't even have to suggest you anything. You can just use os x leopard, and get the best ideas.

I'm working on better tabs for the next release. Other things I guess matches Leopard.
An other thing I have been thinking of is some kind of "Mac4Lin Dust" alternative along with the original Mac Aqua and Graphite themes. There's a very good looking macish Firefox theme called Proto Dust and I'd really like my whole desktop environment to look that way.
It's a black theme but it's not really glossy and it's very discrete. Menu and Tool bars are black, and as a desktop theme I imagine the panels would also be. The proto Dust theme - unlike many other dark themes - still have white menus, which I'm happy with, because I don't like reading or writing white text on black background.
I've managed to re-color the Menu and Tool bars in Gimp, however I get problems when I try and change the text colors in Gnome Color-Chooser. I can easily make the text white or light grey, but it also affects the text in the menus, which means light color text on white background, which is a bit annoying...
