This is my Windows, I've updated it ... I'm changing it around though soon.

The side bar is just a theme base, I took off the normal buttons that come with Ubuntu automatically (Applications / Places / System) and added a start menu button that came with the theme (Gnome Foot) which represents Linux. For the Dock, I used the program AWN that you can install on your system easily by searching AWN on Synaptic Package Manager This is the default, but it came with a cooler version that I use to give a nice glass effect. Have fun with Ubuntu, just be very careful, when I first started using Linux, I crashed it like 4 times. Make sure you know what you are doing before you do something. Read a lot of tutorials and you will be fine. --For playing CSS, I perfer to play it on Windows because Windows supports it better and looks better because of my Graphics Card. I only use Windows now for playing games and downloading music.

Close, but its actually Ubuntu, which Mint is based off. Mint is like 99% Ubuntu Ubuntu skins and modifications are so easy to learn after a few trial and errors, I am new to Linux after being sick of Windows bugs and crashes. It's actaully quite easy to use.

Linux can do a lot of the same if not better things than Windows can ;-)

It's called tropical , get it from Syanaptic Package Manager. Search themes.

Linux anyone?
