Hello Sabin,

pcb-rnd has official debian and ubuntu packages. Thanks to the Debian guys 
(Dima and Bdale) they are usually updated within a week or two after a 
stable release. Of course this won't help if you want the latest 
development version (svn HEAD).

AFAIK pcb-rnd has no PPA anywhere. To get PPAs, someone with the skills 
and available hacking time is needed to set one up.

I am not sure what you mean here.

If you mean the project manager itself (the blue toolbar on the top; btw, 
the project manager is not part of pcb-rnd): the look is determined by PNG 
files. The ones on the video are the ones I've drawn. I am not a graphics 
designer, obviously. Contribution (another set of PNGs) is welcome.

If you mean how the widgets look in pcb-rnd, gschem or gerbv: they are all 
just gtk2 - how they look depends on the local theme. What you see on the 
video is the theme on my system. Pcb-rnd on your system would probably 
look much like mainline pcb, using the same gtk lib and the same gtk 
theme.

I recommend losing the part after the "if". If you can and want, just do 
the PPAs, publish them and let me know about them.

As an upstream developer, I try to do all sort of reasonable fixes for 
problems packagers report.
