Enough of bad joke, this theme is meant to be very clean and nice. Good for both professional and personal use I think.
It includes a dark menu version you can choose from Controls customization.
It is sensitive to color changes so you can customize it to your liking. It comes with 5 sets of predefined colors : Blue (Sugar), Gray (SugarGrey), Green (SugarGreen), Orange (SugarOrange) and Brown (SugarUbuntu)

hi. i love your work.
Can you make one with light windows and panels?
by the way, when i open a nautilus window, the places pane seems full white and that is annoying. can you fix that as in ambiance theme?
thank you by now.
A very nice theme- thank you.
I see a small bug in Debian Lenny (with updated GTK and Murrine- so this is probably a tiny user base, but I hope you can help.)
The volume applet slider is virtually invisible, and the preferences menu inconsistent with other applet preference menus- see screenshot.

thank you very much for the great theme
Hi, Your theme looks like something i would like alot.. Alas I don't know what to do to make it work properly, I believe I compiled murrine from git successfully though i might me wrong, If you know of a place I can find instructions as to how to get themes like yours working, I'd really appreciate it if you would share the info.
Where can one get version 1.1 of the Murrine Engine? I've looked all over for it and can't find it, not even at Cimitan's own website (the most recent he has is 0.90). Where did you find it?
1.1 is the version of my theme not the lasted version of murrine.
I said that you might need to compile murrine from git (http://git.gnome.org/browse/murrine/) for the version 1.1 of my theme.
I think it might work on Lucid without needing to compile murrine but i haven't tested.
Ah...thanx. Since I'm at work right now (on that inferior virus-laden operating system, and not by choice), I'll get to it over the weekend. Thanx again! :-)
I don't do it that way for 3 reasons :
- It's harder to maintain
- Why duplicate files when what is changing is only the color set
- You can change to SugarDarkmenu without affecting the chosen color set
But I will add every color set into the gtkrc file.
That way you will just need to comment the default color set (blue) and uncomment the color you need.
If you really want standalone themes you will have to duplicate the gtkrc and choose the right color set in each.
I'll update it soon.
Thank you very much. I tried to do something similar using the index.theme but not only was the gtk color variable a different name, it was formatted differently. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting to create such a great theme and make it easier for those of us not necessarily using the gnome session manager. I've put this down as a like and am looking forward to your update.

The theme work good in Karmick Ubuntu, but in Maverick sometime one Window or the Panel are not themed. Perhaps a bug with Maverick?

Can you convert your metacity into emerald verion?
No, emerald does allow using custom colors.
I meant does NOT allow using custom colors, I'm not able to do one border theme that will fit ANY color variation.
Awesome theme! I started using it today, and so far its been a blast! Thanks m8!
What a great theme ! Nice work :)
this is the greatest theme i've ever used. thank you for this amazing work. i believe that this theme must come as the default with ubuntu.
thank you for the quick fix :D.

Oh I missed that one, thanks for the report I'll try to fix it as son as possible. You may use the normal Sugar (without dark menu) until then.
Should be fixed now.
Still have a small bug with the drop down list box. http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae280/jasonvoorheeszzz/Screenshot-7.png
Yeah yeah i fixed it a little after the one you reported to me (a bad copy paste). Anyway a new version is out :)
you forget to uncomment the initial color. Thank you for the quick fix :D
Really very nice theme. Předenším to LinuxMINT nice. Much praise and appreciate the up.
