I know this is currently in breezy, but there is nothing unstable about this program at all. It has many noticible changes and would be a great addition to the backports. It compiles right out of the box too, so no compilications. If you could find the time to backport this updated version, it'd be highly appreciated.

I'm unsure of this package, I have made it but it does not look nearly as nice at the version in Hoary (0.50). Please check out the screenshot, especially the systray, and let me know what you think.

The panels seem to be using the default GNOME controls as opposed to the Clearlooks ones.

I had the same problem after playing with gnome-theme-manager... just restart gnome and everything works fine again...

I really like some of the new stuff ;) and it normally doesn't look as on your screenshot... so please just restart gnome... that shouldn't be needed but somehow...

Does it need to be tested or approved? Do you mind posting the .deb, I don't have it listed as upgradable in synaptic. Thanks.

Just for people who don't know, there is a great theme pack for clearlooks that was just updated for .6 of clearlooks.

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25557

His homepage is here (http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/gtk/clearlooks/index.html) but better grab them from gnome-look for now as I don't think his page has been updated yet.

Btw, I wish more themes, icons pointers etc were packaged, I personally don't install themes in my home as I want therm system wide and it would be nice if there was a gui way to install themes for all users.
