    Fixes:
      Ubuntu Software Center: Make certain that you have the delorean-dark-theme-3.6 installed in '/usr/share/themes/' before you continue.
      1. First backup the original files. In terminal with root(administrator) privileges type the following:
      sudo cp /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css.Original

      LinuxMint & Ubuntu with Unity: Slow Window Animations. Should you experience problems with window opening and closing animation the fix is to remove the 'metacity-theme-3.xml' file from the included 'metacity-1' folder.

    Bugs:

    Changelog:
    9-24-12 -ver 2.42 Cinnamon version is 1.6 now. Changes for Nemo-file-browser introduced.
    9-26-12 -ver 2.44 TreeViews have been tweaked again, now the hover darkens and indents the views. Removed odd-row, even-row coloring from treeviews. Cursor in Text-Entry color is now blue and twice as thick as before, changed in both Gtk2 and Gtk3. Scale-Slider is FIXED! I removed the Unico-engine from the scale-slider. The scale-slider looks as intended in the Gnome-3.6 version! Firefox-theme fixed the missing background image from the start-page. Added Treeview, text-input, spinnbuttons theming it impoves DOM-inspector and Preferances-Window.
    9-27-12 -ver 2.46 Fixes, Fixes, Fixes! All buttons are rendering properly now. TreeviewHeaders are cleaned up. Final cleaning of scales. Cleaned up all(that i have found) backdrop windows widgets. And much much more...
    10-1-12 Added Arch Linux repo.
    10-3-12 -ver 2.48 Gtk2 progressbars are now solid to match Gtk3. Added Hover/Prelight attribute to Check and Radio Buttons. The ScrolledWindows and Frames are now drawing with the Unico-Engine. Posted Bug about crashing File-Roller to Launchpad (sidenote- this particular segfault was also happening with File-Roller in 11.04Ubuntu).
    10-5-12 -ver 2.49 Ubuntu Software Center theme files added. To install see the README inside the delorean-dark/Software-Center folder. --Ubuntu keeps changing how the software-center is drawn. This should fix it. Fixed the background text in Text-Entrys(finally). Adjusted the Scale-Slider-Button in 3.4 version. Soon will adjust 3.6 vers.
    10-14-12 -ver 2.50 Contacts app is now themed. Also the base color has been darkened.
    10-15-12 -ver 2.51 Fixed syntax in Contacts.
    10-16-12 -ver 2.52 Synaptic Package Manager, Fixed the Quick-Search-Entry. Now text is visible during search.
    10-16-12 -ver 2.53 Gnome-Shell is themed and working. There are still a few items I was unable to properly theme such as window lock, and GDM.(im using ubuntu Quantal to theme the gnome-shell and some of its functionality isn't working yet)
    10-21-12 -ver 2.55
    Menu-Items in Gtk's when hovered have been changed to match the gnome-shell look(light highlight when hovering over item).
    Metacity, fixed the appearance of the buttons when placed on the right side of window(I had been very unhappy with the previous look, this is much better). Cleaned up buttons both right and left side. Changed the pressed color of the buttons and gave tham better definition.
    Scrollbars, new scrollbars for both gtk2 and gtk3. I am much happier with these over the previous. Yes, they are kinda KDE retro looking, and I like em, and its much easier to determine the size/length of a scrolled-window with this style. This theme after all is a manage of retro and modern stylings!
    Firefox & Thunderbird (for some reason it refuses to draw the scrollbars properly) Go to the Firefox-Theme Link page and follow the instructions for the Scrollbar-Fix.
    Gtk3 The Calendar has been changed and newly themed.

    10-26-12 -ver.1.0 STABLE release! Gtk3 has been completely rewritten. There are many, many changes. Unico-Engine is no-longer required. It is recommended not to use overlay-scrollbars. This theme is intended to be used with its themed scrollbars. (but it is a personal decision.) I hope that I was able to sharpen and intensify the look of this theme while maintaining usability.
    10-27-12 -ver.1.01 Fixed the black windows when opening Totem-Movie-Player or EOG-Image-Viewer.
    10-27-12 -ver.1.02 Added Unity Panel Theme. Fixed the treeviews when hovered(with progressbars/ Transmission) or in backdrop state, finally. Added back the mesh toolbar to gtk2. Re-themed Chromium Browser within gtk2, I believe this version is preferred over the chrome-download-theme.
    10-28-12 -ver.1.03 Gtk2 fixed the Toolbars mesh image, it no longer distorts. Gtk2 new Tabs/Notebook to match Gtk3's. This is just the begining of the rewrite for Gtk2.
    Gtk3 changed the Selected-Text color to near black. Fixed the Toolbar-image for large toolbars(ie. Ubuntu-Tweak).
    10-30-12 -ver.1.05 Nautilus fixed for both version 3.6 and version 3.4(Ubuntu default). Both versions are fully themed as well as Nemo-File-Manager. Remade the Menu check/radio in svg. Changed dropdown menus back to blue-hover. Epiphany-Browser finished theming it. Reworked the Raised-Toolbar-Buttons/Combo-Buttons. Nautilus Scrollbars are drawn inset(on the icon-view) rather than outside it.(Necessary to maintain the bevel behind tabs in both versions of Nautilus). Cleaned up the hover of Check and Radio Buttons in rows/treeviews.
    11-06-12 -ver.2.0 Re-Design of gtk3 for a better experience with gnome3.6. Every part of gtk3 has been overhauled. There are still a few areas that require attention. I will get to those after the overhaul of Gtk2 to match. After that I will get to Gnome-shell GDM and Cinnamon. I hope everyone enjoys the new interface!
    11-12-12 -ver.2.1 Re-Design on Metacity's Buttons and the metacity-2 theme (Unity). I think i finally nailed it...LOL! Gtk3 for version 3.6.1 they have a new syntax for drawing Tab-Borders. I updated the syntax(for Arch Linux users) and kept the previous syntax for Ubuntu users(ubuntu hasn't updated to 3.6.1 in gtk3 as of today). I fixed the missing notifications switch in Gnome-Shell pop-up window. Fixed Unity Panel , removed the top highlight on the panel and reworked the panel image to be seamless with maximized windows.
    11-15-12 -ver.2.2 Gtk2's buttons are matched with gtk3's...metallic in windows and rubber in notebooks. GDM now has a working theme. The GDM-theme is just a placeholder until I have some inspiration. A fan/user of DeLorean-Dark created an awesome Chromium them that matches my Firefox-Theme. I will try to post it today. My appreciation for the awesome work, and for sharing it!
    11-16-12 -ver.2.25 Scrollbars in Gtk2 have been fixed. They now match gtk3's scrollbars. Also fixed the Scrolled-Window in Gtk2.
    I wanted to have both the Buttons and Scrollbars in Gtk2 made to match very quickly. They were the most noticeable difference between gtk2 and gtk3. Thats why the 2 updates in 2 days. ;-)
    11-18-12 -ver.2.30 Gtk2 major changes! The Entry's ComboEntry's, Spinnbuttons, Frames & Shadows, Scale, Progressbar, have all been redrawn in svg to be as close to identical as possible.
    If the version of Gtk2 you are using doesn't support SVG than do not use this theme. More changes to come for Gtk2!
    11-26-12 -ver.2.50 Gtk2 theme entirely rebuilt in svg graphics. The theme is now Pixmap based and the Murrine-Engine is used only for the rendering of Fonts in the theme. I tried to get it as close as possible to the gtk3 theme. You will need to use the Firefox-Delorean-Theme if you use firefox as your web-browser.
    12-01-12 --- New Eclipse and Firefox theme added to the Delorean-Dark suite.
    12-03-12 -ver.2.55 Metacity: shrunk the size of the Maximized tilte-bar for better screen real-estate. Gtk3: fixed the selected tab border when in backdrop mode. cleaned up the floating status-bar. Fixed the bug with nautilus sidebar's scrollbar showing squished/cut buttons(it wasn't suposed to show any). Gnome-Terminal and Epiphany: added an inset bevel (like the one behind nautilus's tabs) behind the tabs for both applications. And a few other minor fixes.
    12-04-12 -ver.2.56 Fixes to the last update: Floating-status-bar fixed the backdrop removing the box-shadows. Fixed the hover property of toolbar-buttons in backdrop.

    6-22-13 - NEW version: DeLorean-Dark-Themes-3.8

    *Help- If anyone knows how to code/draw in pixmaps the range-highlight for the scale/scale-slider in Gtk2. I would love to hear from you.

Hi. The link to AUR is borked. Has it been moved or is this no longer available for Arch users?
