I have a few questions that I'm hoping you guys can help with.
1/ Having installed gnome-shell (3.4 according to synaptic) and gnome tweak, I can change the window and GTK theme but not the Shell theme, as in the pic. How can I change this?
2/ How do I install gnome shell extensions?
3/ How can I add Shutdown to the settings menu?
Cheers.
I switched from Unity to Gnome 3.4 but I'd like to tweak my desktop a bit. I want to use a gnome shell theme but the gnome tweak tool won't allow me to modify the gnome shell themes. I've read somewhere that if I reinstall the gnome-shell then it would conflict with Unity and I wouldn't be able to safely use Unity anymore. Is there a way to change the theme without reinstalling the gnome-shell?
