Lowfat Lefty (cgwd version)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
No OS copycat here. Just a slick, clean, fat-free, Linux-only decoration. The goal is not a bottom-up new theme, but a careful, incremental improvement of some already good work. It's my first upload, so useful comments are appreciated.
It's a standard Compiz theme using VRunner engine. This is heavily modded from DBO's "Scaled Black Mod" which is a mod of twigsby's "Scaled: Black". I don't know which of these guys/gals made the buttons, but the Help, Sticky and Above buttons are all mine.
GTK is Glossy, Icons are a slightly modded Ubuntu Studio set.

Can you please tell me which font and wallpaper you are using in the screenshot?
I want my desktop to look just like the screenshot!
Thanks!

Wallpaper can be found in the "abstract" section at the gnome art website.
I'm glad you like it. My goal is to eventually build/acquire the necessary GUI artwork for something that looks as good as OSX or Vista but doesn't look *like* them.

Just a note: get used to option two. Not many people post both formats.
Cheers! And thanks for showing interest.

in my opinion, you should try another version of it, thinner, lighter color and no transparency. give it a go ;) i think it will be very good!

I would like to do something a little better and more thorough in the future, but I'm in the thick of my last semester of a Philosophy degree. That means a buttload of reading and papers; no time for hobbies.
I'm hoping to pull a spiffy pixmap from a blender project in the future.

If so, go here
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Lowfat+Lefty+%28Emerald+version%29?content=77308
and download the emerald theme.
Then open up emerald theme manager, and click on the import button and navigate to where you downloaded the theme.
Then select it and you're good to go! If you dont have compiz-fusion, ubuntu with desktop effects on, or any desktop manager that uses Emerald for theming, then you're out of luck - and will have to download window decorations for your normal desktop manager (whether its GNOME or KDE)
