Wasp is theme that would fit perfect in Ubuntu 10.04.
I have been using this theme since Ubuntu 9.04
Wasp is a suite of GTK, Metacity, Xfwm and GDM themes. It includes:
- Wasp (GTK, Metacity, Xfwm)
- Wasp-Alt (GTK, Metacity, Xfwm)
- Wasp-Hard (GTK, Metacity, Xfwm)
- OpenOffice.org patch
- Stylish addon for Firefox
- Wasp for GDM
Wasp is the first theme (as far as i know) that has a script to take care of OpenOffice.org apps.
Wasp takes care of most used apps with adhoc configurations: no strange behaviour like dark toolbar where it shouldn't be, no redundant borders, no compromise on general setting just because of a strange behaviour in one app.
Wasp is not dark and is not light: dark is beauty where it can be applied, so Wasp is dark where it is beauty.
Don't like orange/brown colors? just use GNOME Appearance and choose all colors you want, Wasp is totally recolorable.
- Wasp-Alt
- Wasp-Hard
- Install
- Copy Wasp, Wasp-Alt and Wasp-Hard directory to /usr/share/themes/ or /home/$USER/.themes/.
- Open a terminal, cd to Scripts directory and run ooo.sh. Running this script is required for OpenOffice.org applications to work correctly.
- Open your browser, go to https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/2108.
- Install the Stylish addon for Firefox, go to http://userstyles.org/styles/17607.
- Install the Wasp style for Stylish addon.

The problem with dark themes is that the Firefox "Add new bookmark" dialog uses the wrong background/text color combination. On most dark themes the dialog has dark text on a dark background.
This problem has existed since Firefox 3.0 (when FF started using GTK themes) and I have reported this at least twice. Responses I have got from the devs at Mozilla where to hack the FF settings and force the correct colors to be used. This is useless as a default setting as it breaks compatibility with every other GTK theme.
Now, I haven't verified this in the FF 3.5 versions. Maybe it has been fixed. Hopefully Ubuntu using a dark theme by default will actually prompt Mozilla or Ubuntu to fix this small but annoying bug.
Here is a link to the screenshot I took when I submitted the bug to the Firefox devs... So you can see what I am talking about.

I know that, it suck.
This is not fixed in 3.5, but you can fix it by installing Stylish addon for Firefox and install http://userstyles.org/styles/17607 , this is for Wasp theme.
Or don't use Firefox ;)
Opera is best for slow computer because flash work better, and Chrome is god too.
That is the 'fix' the Mozilla devs suggested... and it's not a fix... it's more of a hack. They should just make FF use the GTK theme properly and not avoid such an old problem.
That Theme is the Biggest piece of Dog Turd I have ever Seen.... THIS is something they should be aiming for...
