I believe that there is a need for + it to be in the official Ubuntu Repositories because of all the GTK + themes that I have seen, it probably is the one of best quality. There are Nimbus theme debs here and there but they are rarely well- compiled. Also, there is a problem with the naming convention used by the fantastic icon set. A significant percent of the icons are not used by Ubuntu desktops because the naming convention followed by the icons is designed for Sun's Solaris. This has to be solved because this would satisfy the needs of Ubuntu users who rant for good alternatives to the Human theme. Also, the Nimbus theme is very light. It refreshes much faster than Clearlooks and Human.
