Description:
I made those themes for my private use in a fit of sentiment for R5.
You can use this theme with GNOME 2.x or Xfce4 desktops, and of course on every graphical Linux installation with GUI based on GTK2 (GTK2 theme).
"BEOS-R5-inspired" theme contains folders:
"BEOS-R5-inspired-GTK2" - contains GTK2 theme
"BEOS-R5-inspired-Metacity" - contains window border theme (for default window manager in GNOME 2.x)
"BEOS-R5-inspired-xfwm4-big" - contains window border theme (for default window manager in Xfce4)
"BEOS-R5-inspired-xfwm4-small" - contains window border theme (for default window manager in Xfce4)
"BEOS-R5-inspired-Balou" - contains "Welcome screen" based on Balou engine (Xfce4)
Unpack and copy content of those archives into hidden folder ".themes" placed inside of your home folder.
"BEOS-inspired-cursor-theme" folder contains cursor theme.
Unpack and copy content of this archive into hidden folder ".icons" placed inside of your home folder.
File: "left-side-buttons.gif" contains instructions how to change the default view of buttons in Metacity (the default window manager in GNOME 2.x).
Instructions are included.
For clean Debian installation You have to install these engines:
apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
apt-get install gtk2-engines-clearlooks
Static images on included screen shoots are not enough to show theme conditions on work, graphics technics which I used there creates much more illusion for theme "reality".
It's not a simple copy of BEOS GUI. No.
My GTK2 & mouse (and of course WM) themes are inspired by simplicity & clean interface of BEOS GUI.
I made those themes just for light & for "not turning attention" from the current work on the desktop. I really, really don't like "flying things" armed by raibow colors on my desktop when I am working on it.
All images attached to this themes pack are hand drawned - from scratch.
If You like the icons theme which I use on my desktop, You can find them here:

There are beautiful simply icons, like on the good, old days...
I'm using those beautiful fonts:

Enjoy !

************
I suggest to create or update existing and hidden ".gtkrc-2.0" file.
This ".gtkrc-2.0" file should be create only inside of user "home" folder.
I suggest to add there a short entry:
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 20
That simple change will accelerate system menu (little lazy by default) on every chosen theme.
It will set up menu speed to 20ms.
I do not only recommend to set it to 0ms. Really.

Just for confidence intact collection of work I prepared SHA1 SUM of archive file:
