Drakfire Caffe GTK3, A "Coffee" Looking Theme for Gnome3/Shell

Drakfire Caffe GTK3 is another shell theme for all you Gnome3 geeks out there!. Although personally I'm not much of a fan of these type of colors in themes but then I guess just because I don't like doesn't mean there won't be others, right?.

If that's the case and if you're looking for another Gnome3/Shell theme that uses a lot of dark brown type colors (or Yellow... seriously I'm a bad artist... can't even say what color it is :P) then you'd love the Darkfire Cafe.

To be honest guys, I haven't used this at all but when reading through some of the comments in the author page someone said, the colors make it really easy to work on a darker environment. So that might come in handy.... :(.

Anyway, ff you want to install then get the zipped pack from here. And visit this deviantart author page for installing instructions. Enjoy!.

Note - If you're using Gnome 3 in Ubuntu then you can install a tool called Gnome tweak tool which lets you easily configure themes and some of their advanced options in Gnome3. So to install Gnome Tweak tool simply insert the below command in your Terminal.

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Few Beautiful Looking Gnome Shell Themes!

Gnome3 is certainly beautiful looking than its predecessors. Comes with few fancy graphics effects, although not as advanced as Compiz, yet, they've done a pretty good job by making it look really beautiful. But as the way with all things, the more you use the same thing, the more bored you become ;-).

So, after using Gnome shell for like 3-4 days continuously... if you already feel like "have had enough of that shell!", then you might want to consider installing few of the below beautiful looking shell themes. 

Tron Legacy

Well, if you're a bit of a Tron-Legacy geek and would like to make your Gnome Shell look exactly like Tron.... then you should install this theme from here and all the instructions concerning how to install the theme (including icons, etc) can be found in this deviantart page.

Tron Legacy!

Smooth Inset

This is already a very very popular shell theme and I can see why!. The theme uses colors bit similar to the ones that are used in Mac OSX... and looks easy on your eyes as well. Get the complete pack from here.

Adorable! :P

Shell Elementary 

Hello Ele!...

Well according to the developer it is based on the Elementary OS theme and gotta say it looks really beautiful!. Although in the recent past the colors used to be a bit Greeny, but I prefer the darker Grey and the Blueish variations. You can get it from here (including the installing instructions, which are basically the same). 

If you love deviantart and wanna make Gnome3 looks exactly like it... then install the deviantart theme for Gnome shell as well.

Wanna A Deviantart Looking Gnome Shell Theme?

If you want almost anything that is related to art (pictures, windows themes, icons, vector graphics... you name it!) online then, deviantart is the one place that you should not miss. I did mention an GTK based theme from them called Hope few days ago, but that theme is for metacity, not for the Gnome3 or Shell.

If you're a huge fan of Deviantart and want to make your Gnome Shell look exactly like Deviantart web site (colors and all that...) then Gnome-Shell deviantart theme is something that you'd most definitely love!.

First backup your current theme/s (default directory = /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme) and then download it from here. After the download is complete, extract the content to "/usr/share/gnome-shell/".

Now you have to restart your Gnome-Shell. To do that, press "Alt" + "F2" + "r" + "Enter", keys on your keyboard. That's it. You may also want to have a look at the original deviantart developer page as well.
