This is my first attempt at aaa gnome 3 shell theme.
Hopefully I will get a gtk/metacity theme to match it soon and maybe a dock theme and a icon theme to go with it although it takes a long time to make an ico package so I'll see how that goes.
I tested with gnome 3.0 on lmde with a gnome 3 shell.
The wallpaper in the preview can be downloaded at the link provided also.
Enjoy

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.
Moved this over to gtk3 instead since its complete now.
Thanks to rvc for pointing this out

A few more pieces of artwork and coding and tweaking and it should be done, I'll be adding a metacity and gtk with it later on.

How to do it:
First install lmde, do all the updates.
Get the new rc here
http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1807
after the updates add these to the repo list in synaptics
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
do a sudo apt-get clean, then a sudo apt-get update.
DO NOT UPGRADE
then add this in the terminal
sudo apt-get install -t experimental gnome-session gnome-themes-standard gnome-control-center gnome-keyring gnome-media libdconf0 dconf-tools gsettings-desktop-schemas
after that go into synaptics add all the gtk3 and gnome3 stuff, also the tweak tool and gnome-common.
press apply for all the stuff you click for install, after it installs, go into the the repos, unclick the three repos you added
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
you only need them to get the shell stuff and gtk3 stuff, if you upgrade with them in it, it will mess up everything. Well for me it did.
sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get update after that to put the synaptics back to the original repos only, reboot and your done, most use the xfce version for this, I used lmde instead and it worked fine.
Go here to find out more about how to it more and better and to find fixes etc,

The next theme will be called Heavy Metal, or something like that (got to see if that name is taken already), it'll be all metal, hopefully it'll look good, and this one was my tester into gnome 3 so hopefully I can make the heavy metal one even better :)

I might try to add a couple of other things to this shell as well as long as it doesn't become to much.

nice work man...
can you tell me how to expand the center wing of the panel to accomodate both weather and date indicator in top panel ? both indicators seem to go out of boundaries ! otherwise its a different theme away from default styles..

I added the three sizes in the download now and added a READ ME file with the download to exxplain how to change that middle piece, you can change it by just changing the name of the image size you want orrr I show you how to change the name in the css instead and what to look for (which is easier) I tried to make it easy for those who aren't fimilar with css, so hopefully it will be easy enough to do for anyone.
The reason I had to do it this way is because I did not want it to stretch ot it would of wouund up across the whole panel, so it was a compromise to make it look better, the other two parts stretch according to how many icos are open on the panel.
Hopefully this will answer this question for anyone else trying to figure it out.
Please read the READ ME I just added with the download, it will walk you through this part :)
