Atolm GTK theme + Clarity icon theme is yet another very decent theme combination for your Ubuntu GNOME desktop. Unlike the previous GNOME theme combinations we had featured here before, this one is dedicated to all dark theme fans out there.

That is my current desktop running Ubuntu 10.10. The look and feel is a result of Atolm GTK theme and Clarity icon theme combination. And of course you have Docky docks at bottom and on the left side of the desktop. Now lets see how to install these two themes in Ubuntu.
