Ubuntu Next Generation version 3.0
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' document. 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 or make suggestions

My Orange Oxygen Refit!
Any suggestions?
P.S. Do you have any other themes?
Even though it is a dark theme, it is extremely usable which is something most dark themes lack these days.
This would definitely make a good default Ubuntu theme. I'm just not sure if everyone would like a dark interface that this set of themes produces, but I sure do!
