Clearlooks Theme on Ubuntu Linux

Clearlooks is a theme engine for GTK+, the main widget toolkit used by the GNOME desktop environment. It is based on Red Hat's Bluecurve theme. The theme engine draws the actual widgets, and can be configured with 'themes' that invoke the theme engine with different configurations. It is the default theme for many Linux distributions including Fedora starting at Version 4 and Foresight Linux. Additionally, Ubuntu versions before 6.06 and current releases of openSUSE include themes based on Clearlooks with modified color schemes. Many users have contributed themes that have changed the colors and some visual effects, leading to many derivative themes on sites such as art.gnome.org and GNOME-Look.
