VERY NICE.. This should be the defualt theme ! make it and release it to the ubuntu guys, so they can make it the default !

That color scheme is gorgeous. If Ubuntu are going to stick with brown tones, this is a huge improvement over last efforts IMO!

Very Nice.
Are the icons on the bottom supposed to be open applications or some kind of osx panel?

I think we need (linux users) need to have a different way of displaying open applications.
What are the methods we should use?

How did you get that T-mobile thing? Is it real, or another mockup?

Looks good, btw...

Thanks for all of the positive comments. If you guys are interested in the wallpaper, I'll post it here with another one i created recently.

As for the dock, I'm not a coder so I couldnt implement it myself, but my idea was one similar to the OSX dock except that the icons would be presented in a carousel instead of a straight line. and when you move left or right on the dock area, it would spin, and the icons moving towards the back would blur/fade, and the ones under the mouse would come "into focus". And any app looking for attention/blinking would spin to focus and blink or bounce or something. Just an idea.

The network dialog I think would be fairly simple to implement, but then again, i'm not a coder.

I'm researching now into how to skin gnome, so perhaps i can release a theme similar to this after some work. If anyone could point me to some tutorials, thatd be fantastic.
