Murrine Engine is a Gtk2 theme engine, using the Cairo vector graphics library. It comes by default with a modern glassy look, inspired by Venetian glass artworks, and is extremely customizable.
For that Just type
yum install gtk-murrine-engine
Step 2 : Just download the source of the theme from ubuntu
