First image on top, you are using Nautilus-elementary[not the default
nautilus] , which is why you are having the difference in the button
sizes of pathbar and toolbar buttons. > File a bug in
nautilus-elementary . We'll get to it ;)

The 3 buttons you are comparing are different buttons hance the
difference: text-only , text+icon *toolbar* buttons, Icon-only toolbar
buttons from inkscape.

FYI , you can change the inkscape buttons sizes from inkscape
preferences. Not a theme bug , it is an inkscape setting.
So if you feel the inkscape icon size is small , it needs to be fixed in
inkscape to change the default icon size. [Though , it would be
preferably to have more space to work with and less toolbar size, not
sure why you want bigger buttons there.]

Argh! Most importantly, the source of Dani's confusion :
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/maverick-to-ship-with-new-transparent.html
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/well-thats-nice-volume-slider-minor.html

This whole thread is a waste of everyone's time based on a couple of
misleading posts!

Earlier that lp branch was named light-themes-testing which has
_mislead_ the blogger to the assumption that this would be used in
Maverick. 
On seeing the blog posts, I had to request dashua to rename the branch
and now it is named dashua-themes-testing. But still people are directed
there due to the blogs.

MPT had clearly mentioned in the comments[of the first post] that this
blog post had *not* been fact-checked and is a wrong assumption. However
all those comments have now been deleted!

People should be a little more responsible while blogging, we obviously
have naive readers who are being wildly mislead.
