It seems that at least the GTK3 part differs from yours, although it does not work with GTK 3.8, too.
The problem with that theme is that it also uses the Unico GTK3 engine in much the same way my themes did, and Unico no longer supports much of the CSS-based styling it had up to GTK3 version 3.4, before they stripped it for GTK3 version 3.6.
I'm still ultimately better off finding a currently up-to-date theme for GNOME and GTK3 version 3.8 that's not too dissimilar to the appearance of Shiki and modifying it until it resembles Shiki as closely as I can make it.
I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do yet but I'll probably end up starting with the GNOME Shell theme, as that should be the easiest thing to do, given that I can borrow the default GNOME Shell theme as a template and just modify everything to better fit the look of Shiki.
I do have every intention of reviving these themes again, but it will take some time...
there are no other options for the shiki themes lovers
I have been looking for this for sooo long…
Now my GTK2 and GTK3 apps look nearly indiscernable.
Your theme achieve to do what Zukitwo sadly failed to.
Have you thought about adding your work to openDesktop.org ?

PS : THANK YOU!!
Plus, these are old and no longer work with GNOME and GTK3 anyway, I stopped work on these after the update to 3.6 when everything changed too much for my themes to continue working as I intended.
(However, if you're still on GNOME and GTK3 version 3.4, these should still work nicely.)
I don't really think that's too good of an idea, to be honest. There will likely come a time when GTK-based apps are specifically coded to work with GTK3.8 or even newer, then my themes won't properly be able to style those applications, assuming the applications could even run on an out-dated version of GTK...
I may have to reconsider my decision to give up working on these themes after the GNOME 3.6 update broke things... I certainly wouldn't mind having these working again but it would take some time to hunt down all of the elements I would need to create image-based assets for, then to create all of those assets... Plus there's still the need to eventually make a proper Mutter window manager theme, though the old Metacity one does still work fine...
Hm... I'll have to look into this a bit over the weekend when I have some free time, there may be some hope in reviving these themes again some day.
I don't know under which license you published your work, but have you thought about open-source it so other people would be able to maintain it once you won't want to work on it anymore?
It is such a good looking theme that it would be a shame to lose it…
About applications builded to work with recent version of GTK3 only, I'm still able to recompile them with GTK 3.4 if it don't imply to lose essential functionalities.
Visual unity can come at a cost ^^
That said, if anyone wanted to take these themes and modify them/help update them/whatever, I really wouldn't mind at all.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around what I'll need to do to make these work with GNOME 3.8. I suspect I'll probably re-base the GTK3 part of the themes on an already working and hopefully not-too-dissimilar theme, and create better-fitting image assets and make any additional tweaks that may be necessary to make the theme match (as closely as possible) the GTK2 themes.
