Some general comments:
1. Perhaps the brightness of buttons relative to the background colour
is too high, and the hilight_ratio seems a bit extreme. It's just my
personal opinion, but I think the glaze style works better when it's
somewhat subtle or subdued.
2. The pinkish-orange colour for selected menu items seems pretty
dark; if that will be the final colour, would it not be a good idea to
have the selected text colour set to white?
3. Again regarding the selected menu items, it seems the selected item
background glaze has too low a hilight_ratio. Perhaps find a way to
make it more consistent with the buttons.
4. I haven't been following NewWave developments closely, so perhaps
this is intentional, but... what happened to the toolbar separator
lines in Nautilus? It looks pretty awful in the first and second
screenshots, as though part of the interface is missing.

Keep up the good work!
