I really like the theme too. I like the blue theme better than the brown one, though. And I have a few comments: - A line needs to separate the taskbar from the desktop. - The title bar buttons need to be bigger - Inactive windows need to look less like active windows If these are fixed, then the theme should be included in Ubuntu.

I.E it's unique and usable... All elements (with the possible exception of the menus that really need an outline if you want to use them without a shadow-porviding WM) * Good use of Colour: We are limited in the Ubunut Palette, but this theme demonstrates how colour can really make a good theme] * Flat, Matte. It is nice to move away form the glossy effects that have felt dated for a wile now, and this does it without feeling like it goes back to win 9x ** Consistent ** : Here is a really important one, imo: the people that like Elegant Brit have made sure that it is possible to _completely_ theme Gnome, splash screens, icons, GDM etc. If you are so inclined (and I am :P) then you can make the UI feel completely integrated into this design. It is complete, and 'polished' (without being shiny). There aren't any elements left hanging that feel out of place There is a good brownish equivalent that we might like to consider editing for inclusion in Ubuntu: Elegant Blankon: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elegant+Blankon?content=78134
