Yesterday, I had tried fusion theme, but that did not work our that good for me. Reasons multifold:

1. I like the features of GNome
2. I am used to GNome
3. Other window managers did not look that lucarative to me.
4. Compiz was chocking my CPU..
   and so on..

So I went back to my GNome but wanted to change the looks so searched enough today to get the right set of Icons and themes. I think I finally got some decent ones and here are the links for the icons that I liked:

and this one <a href="http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/ultimate-gnome-icon-theme.html" target="_blank">here.

So heres what my desktop looks like now. (rather few of them with different icon sets)
