Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat as we know it came with really good looks. The default Warty wallpaper and the updated Radiance and Ambiance themes are really an eye-candy. But after a few weeks of regular usage, we are actually bored of the GUI. So we want a change. For that we have found a few themes to be installed in Ubuntu that will give our Ubuntu Gnome Desktop a cool new look. These themes are fully equipped with new icons, wallpapers, window-borders and many more. Here they are:-
DockbarX is a free and open-source gnome taskbar applet with grouping and group manipulation. It gives your panel a cool new look and is intended to increase usability of your panels and enable you to use your desktop more efficiently. It also provides the facility to “pin up” your favourite applications on the panels so that you may be able to use them instantly. So, DockbarX in simple terms is an awesome desktop customization tool. We are glad to announce that DockbarX 0.40 is available for Ubuntu now.
