Hi everyone! Those Patels mockups are great. Very distinctive, not similar to OSX or Vista. I really like this mockups, and they're not just great. Changing Ubuntu's default theme not to another orange/brown theme would be a great way to promote Ubuntu. I don't want to imitate OS X but I want to show you guys this link

I think this is the effect that new Ubuntu theme should have. Radical change maybe, and those mockups could be a great start.
