The controls are “Clearlooks Brave” and the borders are “X-Colors”.

PCMan is great if you use Gnome. I never liked Nautilus and although they’re improving it to become a little more lightweight, I still think it’s bloated.
I don’t use PCMan myself that much, because I’m running XFCE which has the excellent Thunar (otherwise I would).

open terminal in nautilus with a click is easy with the package ‘nautilus-open-terminal’ and the thing with root with ‘nautilus-gksu’. there should be some other obligatory addons for nautilus like ‘nautilus-image-converter’ in your repos and if you need more get some nautilus scripts.

the permission dialog can be changed at /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_advanced_permissions in gconf-editor.

For anyone who likes it, Nautilus also offers the finer control over permissions if you change a setting in gconf-editor.
