We have already discussed about the changes coming to Ubuntu Light Themes ahead of Ubuntu 10.10 release. The changes are not final yet. New light themes gets a lot of polish through an attention to detail. Below screenshot via Canonical Design.

If you want to try them out in Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid Lynx', do the following in Terminal.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/light-themes && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Done. PPA brought to you by WebUpd8.

Even though the updated light themes looks much better, it's still way too much 'orange' for me. I for now, will stick with Equinox GTK Theme + Faenza Icon Set combination.
