Atolm-gtk3, Another Beautiful Gnome3/Shell Theme!

Although I could be wrong since it's all about personal preference when it comes to something being "cool". But in my experience/taste Gnome team is pretty good at creating beautiful themes for their desktop. The newly introduced Gnome3 is no exception. I like the new Adwaita GTK3 theme.

But if you'd prefer a bit of a "dark" colors... then Atolm-gtk3 might get you interested. This theme actually is based on the GTK2 theme called Atolm which also looks pretty good.

When you install Atolm-gtk3 you'll get ...

*. A toolbar of its own, Buttons.

*. Added gradients.

*. Combo boxes and padding.

First download the content from here and extract it. Then copy that folder into "./themes" in your Home folder. This is another theme from Deviantart... thank you TheDeviantMars for this cool looking theme. Enjoy.

Install the Customized GNOME 3 Adwaita Improved Shell Theme

Although not everyone is fond of it, yet Gnome 3 certainly looks gorgeous (at least :P). The black panel, the blue background + the new theme which is called "Adwaita" which is especially designed for the Gnome3 GTK3 desktop... they look all good except that fat panels and stuff. Have you ever wondered a way to reduce the default tool bar in Nautilus called "breadcrumb" which obviously looks bigger...

Well, no worries, you don't have to edit any files (the hard way) and our extremely creative artist called half-leaf has done just that for all of us who are annoyed by this "Adwaita" GTK3 theme.

Not only he has reduced the size of those toolbars but other improvements such as blending the sidebar with the theme in General, reducing scroll-bar size and enhanced button padding are also "fixed". All you gotta do is first download the zipped package from here. Then extract the content and the copy that extracted folder to your "./themes" folder in the "Home" of your GNU/Linux PC/Laptop.

Yep... that's pretty much it... again, thank you half-leaf, for this :).
