Yeah, it would be really nice to see some Linux themes inspired more by the core ideas of Metro and less by Apple's software design (which I find lacking).
Also, I can't help thinking that this sort of design is very good for tiling window managers :).
How hard is it to theme "linux"(KDE/GNOME/ETC)? I've never done it as I don't use the Linux Desktop (I need Photoshop) but I've always wanted to try and help improve the linux desktop experience. Is anyone working on a theme actively or know someone to put me in touch with?

KDE-look.org might be a good place to start, http://kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&..., if for nothing else then it can put you in touch with current theme designers.
You can also check the GTK theming tutorial (for Gnome 2 and 3):

or get in touch with the design team at Canonical:

I'm not sure it would work well with tiling windows. Tiled UIs must adapt to very different window sizes and, probably, switch layouts accordingly.
