What a unless "distro." Get Ubuntu, install the same blue theme and just download the "all" codecs. Yes, there's repository Oh that's right - I think that theme is included with Gnome anyway only withour the Ubuntu logo in blue :pWhat is it with this distroitis anyway. There's another thread where they came out with "distro" that Ubuntu only with MythTv installed. How stupid is this anyway? There's already a .deb package somewhere for that, if not a repository. Knock it off with all these "distros" that serve no purpose at all. Bury away
