>Decided to see how much I could get Ubuntu to look like Vista? without editing too many things.

I think I did fairly well. I could have gone further, but I would have to install more extra things and edit files and stuff, so I guess this is good enough. ^.^

Mezoko might I recommend your parents give you Ritalin?

Nobu that is a nice desktop, seems like you did alot of work on it. But why, if I may ask, do you want your Linux desktop to look like Vista? Never quite understood why people do that. Nice, nonetheless!

Made some small changes, albeit not large. Changed the theme to use Candido engine instead, amongst other small and probably unnoticeable changes :p

How did you make your fonts look so good? When I select Luxi Sans it looks like horse poo. Always did hate the way linux rendered fonts... Using 7.10 aswell.

The GTK theme is originally Rezlooks-Graphite, but I made a few small changes and also changed to using the Candido engine. The font is Luxi Sans. The bar at the bottom is Avant-Window-Navigator

@Punio4: I originally had the packages for David Turner's subpixel rendering patches installed. I'm not sure if they were overwritten or not by Gutsy's packages though.
