GNOME Shell - Alternativeby ~half-left

Customization / Skins & Themes / Linux and Unix Utilities / Desktop Environments / GNOME / GNOME Shell

This is an alternative to the default GNOME Shell theme. Features the following changes.

Personal design changes mocked up for upstream.
Optimised for low resolutions.
More space for high resolutions.
9pt font size(default is mostly 10.5pt).
Ubuntu font enabled.
Consistent looking.
New switch design.
Panel translucency

Faience icon theme.

Wallpaper by dokt.

Notes

At high resolutions like 1920x1080 and above the fonts will be small. A good font hinting setting and anti-aliasing setting like Rgba will really help.

Instructions:

Please avoid a manual install and use the GNOME Tweak Tool, it's much easier.

You can use the gnome-shell theme extension for easier switching of themes.

GNOME Tweak Tool

Make sure you have user-theme-extension installed. Load the GNOME Tweak Tool and go to Shell Extensions and click the "Use Theme Extension" switch. Now go to "Theme" and click the Shell Theme box and locate your theme zip. Now you can select the theme in the dropdown box. Make sure you selection the right version for the GNOME version you have, otherwise the theme will not show properly.

If you run GNOME 3.4, just extract the 3.4 version to ~/.themes

Soy nuevo en que Sistema Operativo se ocupa eso y en donde y con que se instala, gracias.
I am new to OS handles that and where and how it is installed, thanks.

I hate how much screen space Adwaita takes, so I fracking love this one. It's elegant, nice to see and space-efficient. 100% winning.

Thanks, glad you think so.

I am viewing this on an HD monitor I got yesterday (1920x1080). Since this preview didn't fit on my screen, I burst into laughter after reading that it was designed for low resolutions. Rest assured, I believe that it would work beautifully on a netbook/tablet (smartphones are WAY out of reach), and it looks just as good at greater-than-high-definition. IMAGE EDITOR NAME HERE must have had trouble stitching this together, and I've made larger images, too!

Yep, works good on both but smaller than the default at high resolutions because of the low resolution optimisations I made. I use it at 1920x1080 and it seems fine once you get used to the slim look.

I like this idea- just the little changes someone might want. Nothing crazy and weird.

~half-left Mar 16, 2012 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Thanks, yep that's the idea.

~angrypsyco Mar 15, 2012

Whoa! My new favorite theme

This makes me very happy! It's my current theme, and I don't think I'm going to change it any time soon...
