ATTENTION: please download and update your theme with the latest zip which I just uploaded, it solves an annoying bug with dark background!!!
(there is still a bug with comboboxes text color, but it's a bug of gnome, it is on bugzilla...)
WARNING: this won't work (yet) with gtk 3.1, so stick with 3.0 or use another theme while i'll fix it

I do not update it anymore, so I think it won't work.

This is a great work. I wish you had the time to make it look like Ubuntu 11.10's Ambiance.

thank you.
the theme relies on the Adwaita gtk engine, the default one (the grey/white theme) of gnome3.
I just tweaked the colors and buttons to resemble ambiance, i didn't want to make a "copy" of it.
ambiance was still to be ported to gtk 3 at that time, and now that it is, it relies on Unico gtk engine, so it is way different from mine.
I won't do a lot of work to have a second ambiance theme, since this wasn't my goal from the beginning.
thanks

the title bar is not affected by my work.
I just included the ambiance (ubuntu) ones.
Thanks for the compliments

Nice job on this theme! I'm glad I stumbled upon it as it makes a great addition to half-left's gnome-shell theme.
gnome-shell theme: [link]
The only thing I'm not liking is that the File, Edit, etc bar is black. It makes the titlebar look gigantic!

it's like that to be similar to ambiance, the gtk2 of ubuntu.
thanks

Nice theme.
And how to get that cool icon bar on the left?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's the dock, a gnome-shell extension.

It would look great if you did something about that ugly nautilus breadcrumb...

Just a suggestion, but I feel like that shadow under the top bar looks a little bit out of place with the buttons on top of it in the foreground.

I was trying to get an "in-set" look

If it's a gnome-shell extension, how do you put the dock on the left? And if that is the dash, how is it possible to see without the activities?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's the dock extension, you can't find how to move it on the left, on another work of my gallery, in the comments!

with gnome-tweak-tool or dconf-editor

Doubt: What happened with the window icon that usually appeared in the upper-left side of the window? Did GNOME 3 drop it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it is no more there.
I don't know if you can enable it later somehow (gconf-editor) or not.

I still don't get why the hate against using window icons. I actually patched Tiheum's Equinox to add the window icons back. I named it Equinox-i and you can download it at GNOME-Look.org. But given this, I guess I will be unable to port my mod to GNOME 3...

Looked for it in gconf-editor.
Apparently it has been completely dropped by the gnome team...

What. Seems I'll have to stick with Unity then. Or, post a bug on the tracker.

It's how GNOME Shell works, since there is no need to minimise because there is nowhere to minimise to. it's all about workspaces.

You can middle click the titlebar or move them to another workspace. Middle clicking the titlebar puts the focused window behind and clicking the focused one brings it back into focus.

Still I'll miss the icons. You know, the icons that used to be in Windows and earlier versions of GNOME, and allowed the user to tell which application was the window running. Also, they're flashier.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean but I just don't miss it any more, after using GNOME Shell for sometime now.

At least there is a way to use the old Metacity instead of enforcing Mutter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not about enforcing Mutter, it's about tighter integration with GNOME3 instead of some third party window manager that might do nasty things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, but they have removed functionality. Why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What functionally? If you mean minimise and maximise that's just part of the design(since it doesn't work like GNOME2). You can always add such functionality back in the dconf-editor or GNOME Tweak Tool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean to add the window icon. As you said, that functionality (also known as menu_icon in the Metacity XML files) was removed with no apparent reason.

Great porting..could u plz port this one too it is called Azenis and it is really wonderful

Or if there is any howto gtk2 to gtk3 reference so I can do the job ..thx

Thank you.
If you played with some gtkrcs in the past, you can easily learn your way through the new gtk.css, it has some different syntax due to css, but it is easy thing

Nicely done!
I still think the bit below the menu bar in nautilus is messy, but that's not your fault
I think I might take the plunge soon and overwrite Unity with Gnome shell. This'll be the first theme I install!

Thank you.
Yeah, I did my best with the toolbar (that's how it's called)
but some things are just "stuck"...

released! and if you like it, spend a word on omgubuntu.co.uk

Thanks for the post on the site.

Excellent, I look forward to the download. I am not sure if that is something you can easily fix or not; but, one thing that stood out to me was that the spacing above and below the nautilus search button seem to be slightly different. The button is closer to the content than it is to the menu bar. Other than that, I like how it is going.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it is a matter of gradients and shadows.
I have no power to move the button, it is equal-distant from both the content and the menu-bar

Please dud, the toolbar looks out of the place.. otherwise its great..

thanks (for feedback and appreciation)
this is a w.i.p. and not the final look, luckily
I'm still working on it, and toolbar is one of the thing I'm going to edit

Ambiance's background is more silvery grey and you should be able to mimic the breadcrumb bar buttons with a bevelled gradient and border-radius. Use background-image for the grips on the scrollbar.

I swear I took the bg color with the color-picker from the very gtk2 theme, and I was surprised myself how light it looks on gtk3.
I checked gtkrc to be sure, and it is the same color.
Don't know...
For the breadcrumbs, i'll edit them, but I won't make an exact replica of Ambiance,
this is gonna be more like "Adwaita with a touch (and colors) of Ambiance".
Also, I'm pretty sure Canonical is gonna make a real Ambiance gtk3 theme, so I'm not in competition
