Ubuntu-like GNOME experience [not Ayatana Project] - official thread

Question

After packaging most of Ayatana stuff, i started to package other GUI things, like icons, themes from Ubuntu.
Screenshots:
my current desktop - still needs a lot of work
Here are already packaged things:
light-themes-bzr: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38555
ubuntu-mono-bzr: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38554
dropbox-ubuntu-mono-dark: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38589
dropbox-ubuntu-mono-light: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38590
parcellite-ubuntu-mono-icon: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38590
this three must be installed with -f option to resolve file conflicts. i dont know how can i do this properly other way.
empathy-theme-ubuntu-adium: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38596
i have some corruption with it, dont know why
But there will be lot more. You can check out newest informations about my packages on twitter @dinth1906.

I'm using this PKGBUILD (with the patch in the same folder) and it works like a charm.

You might have to remove "--enable-pulse" if you don't want to use it.
