Well, we miss some pixmaps, it's true, but it's a bit more complex than that. 
See this mail on etoile-dev where I list the current limitations of the theme 
engine in regard to Nesedah needs: 
https://mail.gna.org/public/etoile-dev/2013-02/msg00006.html

Beside porting an existing theme such as Aristo as I suggest it, a possible 
solution is to create a special Nesedah version that adapts to the current 
limitations:
- no shadows around controls
- simpler control border e.g. a single color and 1px
- scrollers and header views visually nested inside their container (in other 
words, the container border would be visible around the scroller and header 
borders)

For the pixmaps, iirc we miss:
- popup menu
- combo box
- progress bar (determinate, indeterminate and circular)
- slider (I think we miss the non-square variation for the slider knob… not 
sure if GNUstep supports it though)

Cheers,
Quentin.
