a good Gnome theme

Today I bumped into a great Gnome theme called "newbuntu" while i was aimlessly searching the web and went into the artwork section of the Linux Mint website. Unlike most dark theme, this one combines perfectly Ubuntu's default Human theme and some dark colours for task bars and menu bars. Menus are black and half transparent, which adds a sense of elegance to the overall feeling. The best thing about this theme is the black & white contrast doesn't hurt eyes at all; they are combined, as I said before, perfectly.

I strongly recommend this theme to those who use Gnome as their desktop environment. It couldn't be better! This theme can be downloaded here:

For better overall effect, there's the twitter wallpaper I'm using:

By the way, if you enable some 3D effects from Compiz Fusion, with the theme and wallpaper I provided above, your system will look just... magnificent.
