Google Shell +Dark +3.2by ~plaidcounty

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

I've been attracted to the new look of google.com and all the web apps in their arsenal. So I figured it should make a pretty good looking gnome-shell theme. Hope you like it!

I included the switches from 0rAX0's Nord theme because they're just so easy on the eyes and I couldn't find any "switches" on google's apps.

Installation:

Put the 'Google-Shell' folder inside ~/.themes and use a theme-selector extension to select it. OR, backup your /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme folder and replace everything inside it with this theme, press ALT+F2 and type 'rt' or 'r'

In case some of you don't like the orange in the message tray, here's a fix:

Replace lines 1214 & 1215 (1215 & 1216 for dark) with:

background-color: white;

in the gnome-shell.css file.

You also need \'Droid Sans\' or 'Open Sans' fonts.

*NEW* I've included a darker overview theme for darker tastes. Just backup the original files and overwrite with the dark files!

Your theme has some problems in gnome 3.6: apps are not correctly displayed in the overview ([link]) and in the notification bar ([link])

Sorry, I've been away for a long time. I never updated any of my themes after 3.2. Maybe someone else can take up where I left off but I'm most likely not going to update them.

Which icon set did you use? what would go well with this should I download it, and is it suitable for a Samsung N150 Netbook?

~plaidcounty Dec 30, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

I used this theme on a netbook; worked for me! I use a hybrid of faience. I install the faience icon set but delete the apps folder inside the theme. Then I just use the generic gnome theme.

Hi. I'm new to Gnome Shell, and I was wondering how you got "Power Off..." to show in your username menu. Mine only has options to Log Out.

~plaidcounty Dec 13, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

It's no problem. It shows up when you hold the "Alt" key. You can also have it show all the time by installing the alternate menu extension along with the extension-common and gnome-tweak-tool. You can google more about it or look it up on webupd8.org.

Oh thanks!

~plaidcounty Dec 13, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

no problem

~DexFrost Dec 12, 2011

I love this shell theme, I think it's genius. But every time I insert an external hard drive, I can't read the writing in the dialogue that shows up. Is there a way to make that darker?

~plaidcounty Dec 12, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Could you post a screenshot? It'll help me know exactly what you mean... Thanks for the compliment!
