you gotta edit the colour numbers in the file called gtkrc or summin like that or the menubar file if you are using specific engines.

if the theme you use is a pixbuf engine. then just edit the menubar.png i think thats what its called. you can find all your installed themes in username/home/.themes <-- its a hidden folder.

I LOVE the way opensuse 11 looks by default so I just started up the suse live cd and ripped the themes/icons from it so I could use em in ubuntu.

Got my fonts as pcf files =)... only thing that blows is when gnome tries to make them italic, I guess I have to find a way to make real italics out of them. Still seeing whats good for the theme in some aspects before releasing :)

You use foobar2000 with Wine? Don't you find that it has awful sound quality?

Not really awful, but less quality than the windows counterpart... I just wish I could play the multichannel tracks I have and output them to the right speakers =( only stereo... its the only windows piece of software that I cant live without :D. I am pretty picky about sound quality too but its a sacrifice I have made to customize the player and manage my music

[CactuzJak]

Only a few things changed... new wallpaper, new conky config, some stuff moved around.

[murderdoll]

Just switched to ubuntu before a couple of days, so not much customized, but it currently suits my needs :) any comments?

What is that bar at the bottom of your screen I'v been looking to try a figure out what it is. I'v seen it in other screenshots.

Looks cool, a lot more customised than mine and I've been a Linux user for about a year or something! :D
