I recently wrote a guide to customizing Ubuntu.
Some might find it useful.
http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/guide-to-customizing-ubuntus-look-and-feel/
The following subjects are covered:
1. Setting a different wallpaper
2. Installing a new theme
3. Changing the panel size, transparency
4. Installing a new icon set
5. Setting up Compiz Fusion (and it’s effects, like the rotating cube)
6. Setting up transparent windows borders
7. Setting up true panel and menu transparency
8. Installing/changing system fonts
9. Installing/using new system sounds
10. Installing “widgets” and adding new ones
11. Making root applications use your theme/icons
12. Installing a dock
13. Installing a different login screen
14. Use a splash screen/install a new splash screen
15. Install a different grub theme
16. Install a new mouse theme
Great only one slight problem, when trying to make KDE's Kicker transparent, the Menu is still as solid as ever. Any ideas?
