I hijacked another theme to create this one for my wife who liked the look of XP but wanted to try Ubuntu. I thought someone else might like it also.Enjoy!

I added two different start buttons in addition to the original "windows" start button. Now you can choose from a Linux penguin or an Ubuntu start button

Call it hiding in plain site but if I'm sitting in a bar or library many people have walked by and dismissed my machine because they see what looks like XP.
My hat's off to the creator. You Sir,are a visual artist.

We? We? I surely hope it's the royal WE you're using. I like the theme. It's given me the opportunity to put linux on my parent's box without having to explain everything to them.
Windows- and mac-interfaces are designed by large teams of professional interface-designers. It would be a shame if linux/ubuntu/others did not use the insights gathered by these people.
Just remember: because YOU want to desperately be unique and 'different', that does not mean everyone shares your ideas.
You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake.

But what bothers me the most in all this theme cloning matter are the logos. I can understand that somebody likes Vista's Aero theme or Mac OS's Aqua, but I just can't understand the reason of why to put a win or apple logo on it! It is like wearing a fake Nike t-shirt (or even worse) - what's the point?

Right-click on the panel where you want the Main Menu to appear and select Add to Panel
In the new window, scroll down to Utilities and select Main Menu
Click Add and it will appear in the panel.
Right-click the Ubuntu icon and select Move to move it to wherever you prefer ( I like it to the left corner)
If you haven’t removed the Menu bar (Applications, Places, System) yet right-click and remove
To customized the main menu icon:
1.Open up the terminal (applications>accessories>terminal)
Insert this code In the terminal (applications>accessories>terminal):
Code:
gconf-editor
The configuration editor opens, then open these folders in the left pane (apps>panel>objects)
You will see a list of objects in the pane, locate the one that says (menu_object) next to object_type in the right pane.
Once this is located scroll down and locate the use custom icon entry and select it.
Scroll back up and double click the custom icon entry, this will open a new window asking for the path to the icon you wish to use. Enter the path in the value field and click OK
( If the icon is in your pictures folder in your home folder the path would look like this:)
/home/USERNAME/pictures/start.png
Good Luck!

After studying a few of them and tinkering with the gtkrc file that is included, in the GTK folder of the theme I downloaded, I decide to replace the graphics included of the themes file I downloaded.
What I would suggest is to open all the images folders and look inside (do this for both the GTK and the metacity folders). Then replace those images with ones of your own creation (make sure that they are the same size as the originals, until you become more familiar with themeing). Name the new images you produce with the same names as the ones you are replacing, or you will need to alter the gtkrc, panel.rc and other files in the theme to reflect those new names.
As you become more confident, you will probably need to alter the gtkrc or other files that dictate the attributes of the theme, to change font colors, icons sizes, spacing, etc. etc.
Just have fun with it and enjoy the freedom Linux provides us.
Thanks for liking my theme
