I just thought about the orange/black palette that was requested for Hardy - and that's still the case for Intrepid, I think. The gradient is more apple-like than Vistaish (it has not this "shiny" glass effect), but in black. Please just keep in mind that those elements should be, IMO, color neutral, i.e. gray (light or dark, see OSX Tiger and Leopard) or black. Making a shiny orange taskbar would just make us all blind - and another color combined with the Ubuntu orange would just make us puke all around our desk. The wallpaper is this one: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33466586/ Many other (good) vector wallpapers can be found here: http://news.deviantart.com/article/28138/ However, I didn't find it in a higher resolution. You should ask the author - by the way, if its response is positive, I'm interested too. Also, if you want to submit this image for the next release, you should inform yourself about the license it uses, and maybe ask the author to choose one which would allow us to redistribute it.

I really like darker colors for the bars... I even made black ones for myself... the paper planes are awesome for the idea of freedom... maybe we can use some kites too! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

However, I LOVE the wallpaper, it gives the feeling of freedom to me and that's what Linux is all about! :) Do you have larger sizes around? Maybe we can make more variations of it, with different landscapes and colors that are installed by default.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, my skills for theme creation are really limited - in fact, I never created one, and I'm only able to make pretty images like the one you have seen. However, feel free to create and lead a new theme team if you feel like it. Of course, I would be happy to help in anything you need - as long as it is not beyond my competence!
