This is my attempt to revive a theme that I liked but never got released.
Because of the close integration between the GTK and Metacity themes you will find:
* That the titlebar font size works best between 8-10 (using sans bold as an example). Depending on your monitor 11-12 may still be acceptable.
* That you cant change the windows background color (due to the GTK and Metacity theme integration).
* That KDE, Java and wxWidgets applications dont look as intended. I am looking into fixing this if possible.
Those points aside if you are like me and 99% of your applications are GTK you should have no problems... and the result look fantastic!
If you find a GTK application that hasnt themed correctly please report it below and I will see what I can do.
And lastly if you have the time it would be great if you could vote and comment on the theme. Note that this is my first attempt at a GTK theme so please be kind :-)
This theme requires the latest Murrine Engine.

I'm using Unified v0.4.
Here is a screenshot of Inkscape with the Path Effect Editor sidebar open : http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6313/screenshot000u.png
Then I commented out this Inkscape workaround : widget "gtkmm__GtkWindow.*" style "try_to_use_window_background" # inkscape toolbars
And it's ok now : http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9714/screenshot001r.png

Just noticed that apps like Synaptic and gedit are not being themed and have the ugly default gnome theme.

I know 0.90.3 doesnt work in Ubuntu but an updated package (from 2010/02/10) does.
If you run "metacity --replace" in the command line then change your theme back to the "Unified" theme do you see any errors outputted. It could give you a hint as to what could be wrong?
If you see "gtkrc:110: error: unexpected identifier arrowstyle" in the output then your version of murrine isnt new enough.

gtkrc:110: error: unexpected identifier `arrowstyle', expected character `}'
But I have Murrine svn r174 and there is no newer version in svn available.
