Yeah, that's 10.04, though I'm not sure if I like the new version better. In 10.04, I can't just drag windows across workspaces anymore; I have to right-click on the window and select which workspace I want it to go to. Also, it deletes some of my drivers upon updating. It also pulls a Mac and puts the min/max/close buttons on the left side, but its an easy fix via gconf-editor.

Oh and thanks for the semi-opaque taskbar tips.

When it comes to wallpapers though, that semi-interactive concept is still one of the most awesome.
