Description
This is a mockup for the new Ubuntu release Intrepid Ibex. If you like the designs please please email the Ubuntu design team to try to get a move on with moving Ubuntu into the 21st century. If you don't like some of the things on the design, please comment, i feel moving these kind of designs needs be a real community effort.***

Your UI theme is really nice...
A way better than the current Ubuntu theme.
Your work could easily make me switch on Linux (^_^). No, seriously, amazing work. It should be developped for any mainstream OS on the market.

If Ubuntu looked like this, had codecs installed right out of the box, and relied a little less on the Terminal, I'd use it everyday.

Can you make a mockup with a nautilus window?

Looks like someone slapped Mac and Vista together... but for an awesome OS

The wallpaper image is probably Dark Wood ( [link] ) with brown color added.
If you take the darkwood image and open it up in The Gimp, Colors -> Adjust Color Balance, and make the image Magenta -62 and Yellow -75, you should get something quite close and quite beautiful.
In fact, It's what I'm going to use as my wallpaper.

what i really loved most was the ease colors used in the gtk style, all along side with the icons, wallpaper etc.. when, (or if) will you release this ?

It does look good, but this is just an OS X rip-off. What you think in coming up with a complete proposal, on how it should look AND behave (e.g., is dock usable? is those screenlets on the desktop usable? or you added just because other OSes have those?). Try to think outside the box, everyone today appears to be wanting mimic OS X, so they get one "for free".

you appear to be reading my mind
i'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing but in this case its a good thing

Man, I wish it were real..
Definitely an amazing job, congratulations

Absolutely awesome. The only thing I'd pick up on is that the menu finishes too soon after the last tiem - this could do with some extension (say another 2 or 3 pixels on your design above).
Slightly concerned that it seems to mimic OS X a little too much.

OMG !
This theme mockup is so amazing, so incredible! Hope it gets implemented so I can finally convince all my clients to move to Ubuntu

Sexy. Very very sexy. Here's hoping your design is used as the base for the next default theme

Absolutely love the mockups, a great idea that can actually be put into practice.
The wallpaper looks to me to be from Dark Wood by ~zygat3r ([link] ) but they're all in black and white. Did you add the brown yourself?
Have talked to the gnome-do authors about turning theme into a reality, which is but a new front end will have to be written which should not be too hard

Best dark theme I've seen in a long time. Congrats!

Which icon theme are you using for the dock?
The mockups are one of the best themes I have ever seen for any OS. I wish Vista looked this comfortable.

Hey mate, could you tell me where to find that wallpaper? Its very very nice, and would look very good on my Ubuntu 8.04 setup. Thanks!
P.S. Awesome work, totally love every single bit of it!

If Ubuntu looked like this my MacBook wouldn't have OSX on it any more!

This alone will make everyone accept linux better, pretty and clean.

The panel color and the menu's color doesn't fit.
Ubuntu will never come with a dock.
I prefer the alt+f2 application (forgot it's name) instead of gnome-do.
And screenlets will also don't make it on the default install.

Absolutely awesome but obviously will not be accepted by the closed headed linux guru's in Ubuntu team.

Nice mockup. However, have you ever seen such varied theme in Gnome? To make such, you must first have conditions to create it, and Gnome doesn't give it to users. This is not Ubuntu team job to something, that Gnome won't allow them to, but Gnome's to work on better way of using GTK.

Everything in that screenshot can be done with today software (Gtk+ pixmap theme, Gnome-Do, AWN, Screenlets).
The question is: is it usable? Is it easy on the eyes, makes the screen more readable, improves user feedback? Or on the technical side, will the theme work with non Gtk+ apps that people rely on everyday (Firefox, OpenOffice, Amarok, etc.)?
A mockup is a very good place to start, but UI design is more than doing a pretty screen.
