Ubuntu will have provided its own default gnome menu image. I know its possible to change it for another one, I once made a GTK2 theme which changed the main menu icon, but it was so long ago (back in the heady days og GTK+2.2) I have forgotten how...

Depends on what type of theme you're modifying. Metacity themes and GTK2 themes and Openbox themes and KDE themes etc etc are all kept in different places, and follow different rules. Most of them consist of text files (optionally defining images and image paths) which you can simply open in a text editor and hack.

Gnome themes (metacity and gtk2) are often found in /usr/share/themes/<themename>, have a browse through a theme directory, I'm sure you'll pick up on how the themes work easily enough.

Ok, I'll have a poke around when I get /home.

I have installed the same theme as you have, but how is it that you have the Ubuntu symbol in your gnome bar? Mine is still the "foot".

The wallpaper is by hermik.

Here's his page at customize.org, so you can check out his wallpapers. He's got some real nice ones in the same style.

Edit...

Blikem, if you've got Image Magick installed you can just do a "import -window root screen_shot.jpg" To do a timed screen shot, just run "sleep 5; import -window root ss.jpg".

You can of course change the picture name and type, for example "import -window root ss.png".

      From what i understand from the article on the link, Google is buying from SpaceX access to a limited supply of Nvidia CPUs.   Evidendtly SpaceX was able to secure access to the Nvidia GPUs shutting out Google from buying them directly from Nvidia resulting in this reverse deal.

      LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.

      BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.
