Description:

I combined two themes that i found here which i like a lot

Dark ice
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice?content=69886

and Overglossed
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813

excellent works, many thanks to their respective creators

theme doesn't contain any icons but i think Glass Icons theme that also can be found here is a good match and a terrific creation (many thanks also)
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Icons+Theme?content=32146

the 1680x1050 wallpaper that appears on the screenshot is included (it is not my work, i only processed it a bit to match the colours of the theme)

*** THEME IS TESTED AND FOUND TO BE OK ON UBUNTU 8.04 (Gnome) ***

if you want to use glass icons theme
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Icons+Theme?content=32146

there is a posibility a lot of the icons included in the package not to appear due to a bug in the icons theme

this solution worked for me

Download the tar.gz-archive from this site.
Extract the archive and copy the folder glass-icons to /home/<username>/.icons
(All folder with . at the beginning are hidden, you must press [CTRL] + [H] in nautilus to see all files)
Run my script.
Now you can move the folder from /home/<username>/.icons/glass-icons to /usr/share/icons/glass-icons. (You must be root)

/usr/share/icons = theme for all accounts on the pc

/home/<username>/.icons = theme ist only for <username> available
