For Ubuntu Karmic users
First edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Save and exit the file
add the GPG key using the following command
gpg
--keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371--recv-key 881574DE && gpg -a--export 881574DE | sudo apt-key add -
Or simply use the following command
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bisigi
Update the source list using the following command
sudo aptitude update
Install all the themes using the following command
sudo aptitude install zgegblog-themes
or click on the following link
This will install the following themes
Showtime for Gnome
Balanzan
Infinity
Wild shine
Exotic
Tropical
Bamboo Zen
Ubuntu sunrise
Aqua Dreams
If you want to install above themes separately use the following commands
sudo aptitude install showtime-theme
sudo aptitude install balanzan-theme
sudo aptitude install infinity-theme
sudo aptitude install wild-shine-theme
sudo aptitude install exotic-theme
sudo aptitude install tropical-theme
sudo aptitude install bamboo-zen-theme
sudo aptitude install ubuntu-sunrise-theme
sudo aptitude install aquadreams-theme
Remove Themes
If you want to remove full package use the following command
sudo aptitude remove zgegblog-themes
If you want to remove each theme use the following syntax
sudo aptitude remove themename
Note :- themename is showtime-theme,balanzan-theme etc
You are probably referring to the Cairo-Dock. Warning you may have difficulties getting this to fly with the existing source list entry. Look for it on Launchpad.net - and use the PPA from there. There are some odd DNS issues with their standard package source, but the LP one still works fine.

Count Chocula - I had the same problem. Turned out, I copied/pasted the instructions wrong regarding the sources.list file. The format of the text above is a little out of whack - don’t forget the deb in the first line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Thanks for the work on these themes!
[Reply]
I much appreciate that supplied these excellent themes, I am the fresher to Ubuntu and enthusiastic to taste Ubuntu’s Interface. If you have more new update please release it….. and I want to try.

[...] article is just an update that we have already posted some time ago about Nice Ubuntu themes for ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) Users (Installation instructions included). Step into [...]
Any plans to port this to Ubuntu 10.04? I would personally like to see these as a standard part of Ubuntu, in my opinion they are that hot. Balazan with the Koala completely blows away anything that comes standard with the current Ubuntu installs. Actually, I am going to request a feature to the 10.04 crew. I hope you don’t mind =) Let me know if you are going to port them yourself as well. I just tried to install these on a current 10.04 install and they did not work.
Regards,
Patrick
