Oh, that lady looks like Jennifer Lopez, @Vishal. It's easy to theme Linux than Windows!!
Once you know a few tricks. You don't need any Resource Hacker!!
That transparency Window looks good @Kalpik, though there are more rough edges that
needs to be sorted out. All in all it looks cool.

Look at the letters "k" and "v" specifically. Can you notice that they become too thin at some place and looks as though they are not complete? That is Hinting working for you and that too not very well. This is not a very good experience for your eyes. Search google to adjust the settings in Xorg. If you would have been using KDE, the settings are in "Control Center" but I don't have any idea about Gnome, so you will have to search yourself. Also, I am not sure what kind of Bytecode interpreter is used by Ubuntu's Freetype library. If they are trying NOT to go for any patent infringments then most probably you will have to re-compile freetype with a little editing of the sources (Google for enabling bytecode interpreter in freetype).kalpik said:
Hinting is a method used by font rendering libraries to properly render truetype fonts. The edges of the fonts are adjusted to grids which gives smoother appearance to the fonts. If it is too less, the fonts look jagged; and if it is more than required, the fonts become too thin which results in an eye sore. Google "font hinting" for more

Getting the Restricted Formats in Ubuntu:
@Desmataks, Ubuntu 6.06 CD comes with limited software. Only the Open-source ones.
So you can't play MP3, VCD/DVD etc., To be able to play them you must update Synaptic (Restricted Formats).
Open the Terminal Window & type:
$ gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic
This opens up the Synaptic Package Manager, used to install, remove packges in Ubuntu.
Here is the procedure go to the menu 'Settings'->"Repositories' (Press Enter)
This will bring you the 'Software Preferences' dialog.

In the 'Installation Media' tab under 'Channels' , select all (Check the checkboxes) -
* Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Binary) Officially supported Restricted Copyright
* Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Source) Officially supported Restricted Copyright

Now click on the 'Add' button.
This brings you the 'Add Channel' dialog:

Under 'Components' select all - Officially supported, Restricted Copyright,
Community maintained (Universe), Non-free (Multiverse)
Now click on the 'Add' button & click on the 'Close' button.
Now you will see a dialog 'Information' , saying 'The repository information has
changed.You have to click on the 'Reload' button for the changes to take effect'.
Now click on 'Reload' button or from the menu 'Edit'->'Reload Package Information'
Now Synaptic Package Manager connects to the Net & downloads the Package
information.

The packages that are downloaded are cached (stored in a folder) internally.
And they are installed from there.Click on 'File System' on the left in Nautilus
(File Browser). This will show the foders 'bin', 'boot', 'cdrom', 'dev' etc.,
The folder where they are stored are:
'/var/cache/apt/archives'. Remember every package you install has some dependency,
that is it needs some packages to be installed first before the package can be
installed!! Also open Synaptic Package Manager, from the menu 'Settings'->'Preferences'.
This will open up the 'Preferences' dialog.Click on the tab 'Files' ,
under 'Temporary Files' select the option 'Leave all downloaded packages in cache'
Click on 'OK' button. After you have installed the packages you need the, go to the
folder '/var/cache/apt/archives'. It will contain lots of packages. Burn them to a CD(s).
Remember these packages are compatible with the version of Ubuntu you have installed!!
Use gnomebaker, the CD/DVD burning software & burn them to CD/DVD. If you haven't
installed gnomebaker, then install it. It's a good CD/DVD burning software.

Get the Themes for GNOME from *www.gnome-look.org/.
Click on the 'most downloads'. Choose the Theme you like. Regarding installation,
I'll tell you in the evening.I'm in Office, got work now!!
Regarding 3D desktop, you have to install the drivers for ATI GC & Intel chipset
& configure them!! I'll send a PM to you in the evening.
