Taking GNOME to the Next Level

Totally agree with you. I didn't like the gnome-shell when it first came out (slow, buggy as ...), but I like it now: it's very clean, does what I need with little effort, and stays out of the way otherwise.

I wish there were more themes around though ... it seemed like themes were plentiful and easily usable in Gnome 2 but they seem kinda thin on the ground with Gnome 3.

[I gather the WM in Gnome 3 is compatible with Gnome 2 themes, but GTK 3 cannot use GTK 2 themes ... or something. I dunno. The multitude of theme formats is confusing.]

The real key is find Gtk themes that are compatible with both the Gtk2 and Gtk3 engines. Combine that with a good Gnome-Shell theme and a good font, and things actually look really nice.

I actually just found a couple new themes that are really great:

- Mediterranean Dark (Gtk+/Window themes): http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanNight?co...

- Delorean Dark (Shell theme): http://killhellokitty.deviantart.com/art/DeLorean-Dark-0-94-...
