On Xubuntu...I'm taking things into my own hands! If I didn't know that 
someone was already working on one, I would have done a Ubuntulooks 
theme for Xubuntu...but then you had to go with ClearLooks...

Xubuntu has become my way of getting people with older computers to 
switch to Linux, and it deserves the same respect (theme-wise) that 
other Ubuntu variants have! I say, I shall volunteer to become your 
chief for Xubuntu!
