My first major theme for GTK-3.0 and GNOME-Shell. (But you can also use the GTK-2.0 theme in Gnome 2.32.) I'm trying to make it as consistent as possible. The GTK-2.0 theme still looks better than the GTK-3.0 theme, but that's because of limitations in the GTK3 CSS engine. I'm not sure if I want to make the gtk-2.0 style look as flat as the gtk3 style. I'm hoping for a gtk3 update with box-shadow support. ;)
If you notice any bugs, please post them here. :)
Known bugs:
- In Ubuntu 11.04 classic mode. The right-click menu on some panel applets have a white text and uses the pixmap hover effect. This only happens in Ubuntu 11.04.
- Older versions of Libreoffice have a missing scrollbar. Upgrading to Libreoffice 3.4 fixes this.

# HOW TO INSTALL #
############################
To use this theme you'll need the LATEST stable versions of the following software:
- Gnome 2.32 or Gnome 3.
- The Murrine GTK2 engine 0.98.1.1 or later. (Package name varies between distributions. This engine should be installed by default in Ubuntu.)
- The Pixbuf GTK2 engine (Package name varies between distributions. This engine should be installed by default in Ubuntu.)
- Nautilus-Elementary (Not needed. But it's recommended.)
- gnome-tweak-tool (If you're using Gnome 3.)
## INSTALLING THE GTK2 THEME ##
Unzip the included folder(s) to 1 of the following locations:
/usr/share/themes
/home/your username/.themes
Go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and click on the Customize button.
Select the theme(s) from the lists there.
Note: The /.themes folder is only for your user. If you for example open Synaptic or any other administrative application it will not be styled.
## INSTALLING THE GTK3 & GNOME-SHELL THEME ##
Unzip the included folder(s) to 1 of the following locations:
/usr/share/themes
/home/your username/.themes
Note: The /.themes folder is only for your user. If you for example use an application as root, it will not be styled.
Go to System -> Accessories -> Advanced Settings (Well, it's called something like that in English. My menu entry is in Swedish.)
In this app (gnome-tweak-tool) you can select the GTK theme and metacity theme.
To use the GNOME-Shell theme you need to install gnome-shell-extensions-common and gnome-shell-extension-user-theme/Theme Selector.
These packages may not be available in your distribution's repository.

## USING A TRANSPARENT PANEL BACKGROUND ##
1. Right-click on your panel and select properties.
2. Set the height to 32px and the position to bottom.
3. Click on the Background tab and select to use a custom background image.
4. Select the panelbg.png file from this theme. (home/your username/.themes/Zukitwo/panelbg.png)
If the panel didn't become transparent you're using an old version of Gnome, or you are not using the Zukitwo GTK theme.
## USING A CUSTOM PANEL BACKGROUND IN GNOME 3 FALLBACK MODE (RECOMMENDED) ##
1. ALT + Right-click on your panel and select properties.
2. Click on the Background tab and select to use a custom background image.
3. Select the panelbg.png file from this theme. (home/your username/.themes/Zukitwo/panelbg.png)
