Description: This is a theme I designed for Ubuntu 12.04 and Gnome 3.4. I have only tested this theme in Ubuntu 12.04 but I am sure it will work with most Gnome 3.4 based Operating Systems.
This theme is a merge of my Swar Blue + Swar-Black-Base-Orange + Originalseed's DarkCold4.
Originalseed, the author of the theme DarkCold4, deserves the credit for their work that has enabled me to create this (and soon to be many more) new theme(s) and many thanks to Originalseed. To download the DarkCold4 theme please go to http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=143165
This theme, Sway ROYAL BLUE is based on the Gnome 2 theme Slickness-Black which is the best Operating System theme I have ever had. I do not want to see such digital artwork lost with the progression of improvement so I have been learning how to import, alter and develop themes.
The desktop images I use can be found from Digital Blasphemy by Ryan at: http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/
It has worked for me and it is my third attempt at theme development so please be kind. If there are bugs then help me to become more skilled so I can create better themes or use my themes to create even better themes.
I hope you enjoy Sway ROYAL BLUE as much as I do...Last changelog:

*** I dedicate these themes to my friend Shane Klease; may you rest in peace and you will not be forgotten!
Hi, this is a great work, but I have noticed in recent times some buttons are missing. I use openbox. In LXAppearance or pcmanfm for example, you can not select any option because it is impossible to find the buttons. maybe an GTK upgrade? Thanks in advice.
