gTweakUI is a collection of extra preference dialogs for GNOME 2.0+. It is a front end to GConf, for power users.

gTweakUI 0.0.6 has been released.So far we have three dialogs:

Extra Menu Preferences
Extra Session Preferences
Extra Nautilus Preferences

This release is beta but it is very usable right now. We plan to add more dialogs soon including galeon, panels, panel objects(menus etc) and gtk2 theme colors.
If you want to help out we need translators (41 strings at the moment), coders, artists, etc.. feel free to join the mailing list on our homepage and introduce yourself.

I for one am very glad that someone is paying attention to (and even being fairly militant about) interface guidelines. I am so damn tired of the angry-fruit-salad effect when there's fifty thousand different ways to make an interface and everybody wants to make their interface look l33t and cool (i.e., dazzling eyecandy that makes one ill after 5 minutes.) I think if people even read the 18-year-old Mac HIG it would help as far as WHY things are done the way they are, and even just the fact that the smooth, easily usable Mac interface didn't come out of thin air; Apple hammered pretty hard on developers to stay with the HI guidelines, and they got a lot of the same whining that I see now with Gnome 2.6. But their platform is one of the world's best in usability, because of that strong consistency.
