Hi Ajay,
You mentioned the theme you’re using is “BilZone wp theme”, is this the Ubuntu theme that you used in the Ubuntu 8.10 screenshot? I cannot find the BilZone theme for Ubuntu anywhere. Can you give me more detail about this theme or the link for download. I really want to use this theme in my desktop. Thank you.
