Gents,

Are following some very personal impressions and comments about current
Gnome 3 Themes (desktop and gnome-shell) available for openSUSE (11.4
and Factory).

IMO the default Adwaita is not a very nice Theme and its default
settings are a bit ugly since the height of title bar is too big. For
this I modified the standard configuration by following this very
interesting article:

http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/03/customizing-the-gnome-3-shell.html

Then I switched permanently to Atolm Theme, which I like much more and I
would like to find it as default on 12.1.

The other detail I think is lacking for Gnome 3 is little availability
for customization for Gtk+ Theme.

In Tweak Tools-->Interface (for 11.4) settings we have just Adwaita and
Raleigh, when we could have much more options and especially a way to
install more Themes also through the Internet.

The care of details for a Desktop Environment is the key users have to
choose one brand in place of other and so far Gnome 3 (despite I like it
and use as default) is a bit far to be as good as its predecessor.

Cheers,
