Themes, Tweaks, gadgets?

[syoung27]

Hey guys, so nothing too important here. I have no particular use for Linux to be honest..but i like the peace of mind, difference from windows, smoothness, and getting used to something new...and i like the overall looks. I started with Zorin, lots like windows but also fun. a bit buggy though, so i moved to Fedora 15..i figured it's free so i want the best at the time lol...but it was a lot of work so like i said i don't entirely need linux..then Ubuntu 11.04 came out, and i actually researched this one...watched vids, read reviews etc..and i've had it for a couple months, i do like it..But i do find the eyecandy as exciting as zorin or fedora...am i missing something? or is it simply a totally different setup.

so all in all im looking for the fun of ubuntu! let me know what ya got..if this should be in a different board let me know

whenever i try to set up one of these themes, i keep coming across a command like "emerald -- replace" or something along those lines. every time i've run it, i end up with no window decorations, and no idea how to replace them.

is this a common mistake?
