This is my first Gnome Shell theme.
It is a steampunk theme
I've tested it with gnome 3.0 on lmde with gnome 3
Where I install it on mine is in the .theme folder.
This is just the shell I will hopefully get time to get a gtk and metacity file theme togeather to match this soon.
The wallpaper I used for this theme can be found at

Enjoy

changelog:
I added three middle panel images now (I explain it in the download read me thats included and how to change it in the css file if you want to) this way you can pick what size you want.

changelog July 18 2011:
I made changes in the shell, added a bar across that links up chains to hold up the dash panel (well the illusion anyhow), added the gtk and metacity files, plus some extras that I made and the cbowman57 made.

For all fedora uses:
There seems to be an issue with the metacity file in the top tiling I did, it looks to short, this is in all themes it looks like, I don't know why it does this only in fedora or I guess any fedora based distro, but it does.
It is a quick fix though just open the metacity xml file in gedit and look for the tile images that have a height of 30 or 31 (I think there is only 4 of each (theres only 2 that do this in a set so it is eight in total) change them to 34 instead and it will look fine again.
I will fix this in the update to gnome 3.2 and add two separate folders one for debian based and one for fedora based distros.

CBowman made a nice gtk3 for this, you can get it here

along with a nice shell

As soon as someone updates this shell to gnome 3.2 I'll add the link to where you can get it at.

Installed this just now, looks great! Do you have a matching menu/task bar to go with it?

Hi starbug look at cbowmans link below this is the old gnome 3.2 version which is outdated, cbowman made a 3.4 version of it and did a great job of it.
I'll be making a new cinnamon theme to go with the new steampunk blimp city theme I made with gtk and metacity to go with it later on soon as I get some more time.
Sam
PS I dont use gnome 3.4 at all only cinnamon so I won't be making anymore gnome 3.4 themes for that shell only cinnamon but I'll still be making the odd gtk and metacity and maybe throw in the odd xfce frame to go with those for those who use xfce.

Cool, that works for me. I look forward to a Cinnamon with matching GTK & metacity. I'm currently studying the themes I have and trying to figure them out. I'd love to be able to make a theme and submit it to the masses. I have some ideas that would be cool/fun to implement.

...as I'm sitting here eating a box of strawberries, maybe a strawberry theme would be fun too, like the (not-so-)Dead Butterflies theme somebody made (gnome-look or LinuxMint-art?).

Hey Sam,

We bypassed 3.2 & went straight to 3.4.

I hope I've done it justice [link]

sorry about this, I have been trying to find someone to take it and update it to 3.2 but so far no takers, hopefully someone will do it soon, I can't anymore because I switched to xfce for now because it works better for me as a workstation, so until I get gnome back on I can't update it.
So anyone wants to update this please do it and just send me the link and I'll add to this section.
Sam

I wanted to add, I use the Buuf Icons with this theme, but I'm missing a good mouse cursor for it. Any suggestions?

non yet I'm thinking of making three sets of icons and cursors if I can figure out how to make cursors, never really looked into that yet, but icons just take a lot of time to make a full set.
I am going to eventually make a steampunk icon set (full and complete or as much as possible, I seen one some where but it wasn't to my liking, one icon set for my heavy metal theme (mainly because that is my base theme I mainly use when I am not into a steampunk mood lol) and one for my wife and her spacey pink theme I made for her.
So it will take a while before any of this comes out plus I want to make a cairo dock for each and if I ever get time maybe an avant dock theme but I use cairo so maybe someone can hack one for me if I get the cairo ones made and change them over to avant.
