Apart from those themes in the repository and Gnome-look.org, are there other places to get themes for my Ubuntu Desktop?

Also, are there any 3rd party repositories of themes and other eye-candy?

Web Upd8 is where I got a lot of nice themes and tips for customization. Plus they maintain a PPA with modding/utility apps.They also have a PPA ppa:webupd8team/themes (How to add PPAs) specifically for themes.

Here you'll find some Ubuntu related art: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=gallery%3Aubuntu-artists%2F24290476

And here, Ubuntu awareness material (and release countdown buttons) : http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/

Here are some themes PPAs:

All of those are amazing themes. The first PPA comes with the updated Ubuntu Light Themes backported from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 10.04.

  • Check out the "Eye Candy" menu near the top of the home page. It will narrow things down to what you are looking for!

GNOME-LOOK.ORG
I have been using this for so many years, their collection is just unmatched in terms of volume and quality.

Reddit pics (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/) is sometimes a good source for artistic, odd, funny, or bueautiful images that make good desktop backgrounds. Here are a few I've found (I especially like landscapes):

  • +1 These are nice wallpapers. I was mainly looking for themes as they are harder to find on line but thanks for the valuable links. Aug 18, 2010 at 13:39

And the "Granddaddy" of them all is gnomelook.org---not a PPA, but when you can just take a .tar & drop it on Appearance--why a PPA?

    A PPA because you get updates without having to constantly check the website to see if there's a new version... Aug 20, 2010 at 8:50

You might want to look at this eye-candy project from France, it's amazing: http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=8&lang=en

It works great, I didn't have any problems with the themes and they are complete, meaning that you have their icons not only on your desktop but also in nautilus file browser.

I apologize in case an answer from above has already mentioned it.
