Blue carbon is is great for editing (GIMP or Ardour) because generally I get stressed eyes with a full bright screen for these jobs. Sunday is lovely - not blue mac style theme (metal 0.6.1 is a blue version) with matching 'sunday' emerald borders. See other examples of desktops over at linuxoutlaws.com - there's a desktop thread where podcast listeners post their desktops.

Check you have the "Universe" repository enabled. Go in <em>System->Administration->Software Sources</em> and make sure that the second entry "universe" is activated ! Then reload the repositories (if it doesn't do automatically is as simple as <em>sudo apt-get update</em>) and try again ! @das: sure! Check you have the “Universe” repository enabled.

In fact I was trying to figure out how to do that before reading your post. I feel that top menu bar in firefox is totally unnecessary. I really loved your Firefox tweaking.
