Mint seem to have made the panel a bit more interesting, but the titlebars 
are very plain and boring (also my complaint with the Fedora theme).

I had a quick google around for Ubuntu Studio screenshots:

Quite nice - I like the domed look on the panels and title bars, and that 
could be alpha-blended when switching to compiz to keep the theming 
consistent.

For what it's worth, I use a customised LimeRefresh theme under Beryl, 
changing the green titlebars to blue - much more interesting than the 
plain default Metacity theme.
