Razor-qt
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and intuitive interface. Unlike desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.

Some questions though:
(How) Is it possible to theme the clock widget?
(How) Is it possible to enlarge the size of the desktop and panel icons? I can enlarge the panel but the icons in it stay tiny.
Is there a weather widget like e.g. CWP (Plasma)?
And a picture frame?
Does the desktop/panel support QML-Widgets?
The menu button allows to add some text - alas there doesn't seem to be enough space for it. When I choose text the menu button is only half visible and so is the text. Or does it need some extra tweaking in some configuration file to widen the space?
The desktop context menu and the menu via the menu button should be the same in look and content IMHO? Where the look of the context menu is the prefered (wider, better visible, Qt theme by default).

"Ctrl+Alt+D" was captured in showdesktop plugin. This shortcut should be configured, could you open a issue on https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/issues. Until this is done, you can disable this plugin.
Thanks again for your interest to the project. And I am waiting your theme.

I made a few small changes:
1. We can't use the logo of Ubuntu, copyrights, trademarks, and so on. I made a button with our logo (QSS colors + svg file). Maybe you can better, I'm not an artist.
2. I added a theme for the main menu.
3. I changed the background image on the gradient, the appearance has not changed, but a little faster.
What you think?

Do you want me to make a radience theme too, so you can include them both in the package, or create a razor-panel-themes package?
Also I'm willing to help in any graphic needs the project has. I'm a graphic designer and web designer. Check out my page hardpixel.net. It's in greek but you can see the portfolio...

The main work you did, I've done quite a bit.
>Do you want me to make a radience theme too
Would be great.
>so you can include them both in the package, or create a razor-panel-themes package?
It would be better to add them to the main package. I'll do it.
>Also I'm willing to help in any graphic needs the project has.
Our site isn't perfect. For netbook needs light and laconic theme. Wallpapers. Any GUI improvements and mockups.
>Check out my page hardpixel.net.
Portfolio looks fantastic. I particularly liked the http://www.pcgear.gr
