‘A new start’ GTK theme looks, from the word go, pretty much unlike anything else you’ve tried before.
An aptly titled theme that has that oh-so aloof quality of actually being able to totally transform the feel of your desktop in an instant, it’s one theme worth downloading to see whether it works for you.
The theme package comes with a tonne of goodies including GTK, Metacity, Gnome-Panels, CoverGloobus theme, conky stuff & even a custom Firefox start page with some neat hover-effects.
