Update: the Bisigi themes are now available in the stable PPA.
The Bisigi project includes 13 amazing Gnome themes for Ubuntu which comes with a PPA repository for easy installation.
Today, these beautiful themes got a new testing Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx PPA (not the same as the main PPA) and the themes will probably be moved to the main PPA repository once the developers are sure there are no bugs in this transition.
