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.

After a few weeks of work, I've finished my WinVista skin based on "Microsoft Office 2007".
For the ones interested, here you will find a few tips to make it more enjoyable.
1. Disable the main menu
2. To use the main menu, get cornermenu and place it on the pagebar near the Blocked Pop-ups trashcan.
3. Add custom buttons for RSS feeds and bookmarks. My suggestion is to use the bookmark one near the "new tab" button on the left and the RSS one near the Blocked Popups trashcan.
4. Right click the pagebar, click "Customize" then change the style to "Text only".
