Desktop Themes

I've not used desktop themes particularly in the past, but in 4.2 I really 
dislike the heavy black panel, so that caused me to experiment.  I was 
surprised, though, at what I found.

On my Mandriva laptop, installing the Naked theme gave me widget transparency, 
although the handles still remain black.  The panel is semi-transparent.  
Overall the look is very pleasing.

On my Fedora 10 netbook, the same theme gives me different results.  Widgets 
are again transparent, but this time the handles are transparent too.  The 
panel, however, remains hideously black.

Why does the theme display differently on different distros?  Is it possible to 
adapt the theme so that I can get a transparent panel?
