Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex theme on Hardy Heron

, , , ,

AS you may know, the alpha releases of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) have shown us a brand new theme. It's called "New Human" and it's a brown version of the Ubuntu Studio theme.
It's very easy to update your stable-release Ubuntu to this theme. all you have to do is add this following lines to your "/etc/apt/sources.list":

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main

Then, "sudo apt-get update" & "sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine human-theme ubuntu-artwork"
After that, reboot it and you will now be able to pick up "New Human". Easy, isn't it?

Note: It does not work in older versions of Ubuntu like 7.10, 7.04, 6.10 and 6.06.

UPDATE: I'm updating my O7 skin to use with this new theme. It'll be a great alternative for eeePC-Opera 9.5x - Ubuntu Hardy heron users. Who would love to use a native theme.
