Sugars
To install Sugars, simply double click the SugarName.sugar file and relaunch Espresso. If you need to uninstall a Sugar, you can find them here:
~/Library/Application Support/Espresso/Sugars/
You can find numerous Sugars for download at the Coffee House or by searching the Espresso forums.
Themes
Theme files are simple CSS files, and just like Sugars are installed in your Application Support folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Espresso/Themes/
You can again find themes at Coffee House. To install just copy the CSS file to your Themes folder, relaunch Espresso, and switch the active theme in the preferences.
Important note: if you modify the default theme, make sure to name it copy it to the above folder and name it something slightly different! Otherwise your changes will be lost when you update Espresso.
