[ubuntu-art] New Theme

[Steph]

Your theme is cool, I personally don't like the fonts, but it's clear and
simple. Could easily replace one of the default theme of Ubuntu. But still,
Im sure we can find something more "eye candy". I'll tell you soon my
prefered Gnome-look themes, and you'll tell me what you think about it.

Later,

Steph
