Ubuntu Next Generation 5.0
A modest attempt at making a new default ubuntu theme. While preserving the basic 'ubuntu-colors' I tried to make a theme that is more soothing to the eyes, and creates a nice and calm work-environment.
Visually I tried to incorporate a partial shadow of the ubuntu-logo within the top-window-frame. Gtk-theme and Metacity-theme work together into creating this effect.
A good metacity theme is one that is only visually present when you need it. Therefore the metacity-buttons - or should I say 'circles'- only visually highlight when you move the cursor over them.
The menu's are all consistently with a black background.
This theme goes well with a dark (black) wallpaper.
About the screenshots:
A kean themer will have noticed that I have created a heavily modified version of the 'Slickness'-theme made by Th3Rob
Icon-theme: Oxygen-Refit2 - Orange Version
Wallpaper: a modified version of 'distro balls' by Jackfox05. This modified version is in the download-package.
The font I use is: HandelGotDlig, which you will also find in the downloadfile with install-instructions.
Installing:
Within the download-file you can find the 'installation instructions' documents. There's a special file included that modifies the fontcolor of the panel to white, in case you have a black font in the panel. Just drag and drop this ".gtkrc-2.0" file in your home folder, logout and login again and it should be changed to white.
Please comment, rate or make suggestions..
Yes, I know that Gnome looks is fed up with yet another ubuntu theme and that linux is not all about ubuntu, but please rate it on its merits...
Ubuntu-bashing seems to be popular.

Changed the black-menu-button in the panel to get a uniform look when using a top-panel.
Added an excellent Emerald-theme made by Mariux especially for this theme !
If you have installed version 1.0 of this theme then remove it before you install version 2.0
Upgraded to version 3.0
Iconsize of the main-menu-items changed to 24x24 as suggested by Schollidesign
Please de-install previous version before installing version 3.0, log-out and log-in again afterwards
Some graphics refined in 4.0
Minor adjustments in 5.0

Die Menuleiste (Anwendungen, Orte, System)
hat für mich zu kleine Icons. Ich fände den Orignialzustand (24x24) besser, da ansonsten die Icons wie Pünktchen ausschauen.
Und da ich des öfteren die Fenstergrösse ändern muss, habe ich Schwierigkeiten den so dünnen Rand zu erwischen ;)
Das ist meine Hauptkritik, der Rest gefällt mir.

And the Windowsborder are difficult to catch if I want resize the Window.
This are the only two big bugs on your theme.
The rest is awesome ;)

1) Can you make a suitable emerald theme consistent with the GTK theme?
2) In the main menu, i suggest not to make rounded corners at the top when is selected Application, Places or System: if you make them straight, it will be more consistent with the menu that opens down.
However, great work!!!

Since I'm running Ubuntu with virtualbox I cannot enable Compiz-effects, and therefore I'm not able to do anything that requires Compiz...
