I have slightly modified gnome-shell.css to let it work with gnome-shell.css, but I am not able to get the grey box of the end session dialog which contains the buttons.
This looks really nice. Usually I'm a sucker for transparency everywhere, but I love what you have done with the various elements.
Looking forward to a 3.10 version. :-)
By now I'm still testing version 1.6 for gnome 3.6.x. There are some issues, which I am not sure they come from my theme or from gnome itself. I don't want so make 1.8 for gnome 3.8.x as long as I haven't resolved the problems, because 1.8 will use the code of 1.6 as a base.
An unstable version for 3.6 can be found at github (link above). I have some trouble with the theme, therefor I don't think there will be a release for 3.6. Next milestone is 3.8
Miss the program icons showing up in the top bar behind the program name.
Bottom right tray, sometimes shows a black background, sometimes a clear one behind the icon.
Hi, in my opinion it is not really necessary to have the icon in the top-bar and it also doesn't look really good in this place. I couldn't find a better matching place, therefor it has been deactivated in this theme.
The tray is still under construction. I need to have the background in normal-mode, but I don't want to have it in the overview-mode. It's a bit tricky to get both working. Hopefully there can be found a better solution in future.

I've never seen a GNOME shell theme like this. Good work!
well done i like it :)
Thumbs up for a nice theme. In particular, the clock in the first screenshot caught my eye. May I ask for info on how to get that?
Hi, clock is a ClockScreenlet with plain theme.
Very nice design. Much praise ;)

V0.5: bottom right tray should work much better now.
