The finest Gnome shell theme ever: Elegance colors

Elegance colors

Elegance is a clean and dark theme for Gnome Shell. It is a chameleon theme for Gnome Shell 3.6/3.4. which changes colors with Gtk theme colors and with current wallpaper or you can define color by yourself for this theme (it uses imagemagick to get color). It also comes with a GUI to customize various other aspects of the theme.
Besides the option to export a customized theme, Elegance Colors 0.3 also brings more customization options: set gradient size, transition duration and box shadow. Also, in the new version, theme changes are applied instantly.
To use the new "Export theme" option, open Elegance Colors Preferences and from the GMenu, select Export theme. The theme will be exported to a .zip file - don't install it using GNOME Tweak Tool because it will be installed to a location where it doesn't work. Simply extract it to ~/.themes and you'll have your new, working custom theme.
To install Elegance-Colors theme on Ubuntu/Linux Mint (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:satyajit-happy/themes
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-elegance-colors
