How I can to get my old (karmic) theme back in 10.04? I hate magenta and white instead brown and black. I don't want close button at left. Desktop icons now. Maybe this theme give more fun for others, but why was need to remove old theme completely?

Old ubuntu themes is missing. Human theme is almost the same, but not exactly. Icons is missed, login screen and bootlogo is missed. :-(

Thanks lav0s, that helps!

I really think ubuntu make a big mistake here in user experience. When upgraded I was not asked if I like to change my theme. After upgrade it was dark, and minimize/close buttons where moved to the left. It feels nerdy and gothic (sorry guys). Not something for a particular user.

Yeah the one thing I would like to get rid of is the close icon being on the left, how do I change it back so it goes to the right?

It reminds of Vista going with the black theme and while it looked good it was a lil too dark for my taste.

No problem :)
Remember that you will have to do that again though if you change themes.
