Gnome Shell Theme created with my visualization of wooden textures. I still remember the nostalgia of using wood textured gtk themes and icons in gtk2 days...

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Gnome3.2 / gnome-shell
2. MGSE (optional)
3. Cinnamon 1.2

INSTALL:
Extract the zip file and save the folder in ~/.themes and choose using gnome-tweak-tool.

for cinnamon, once you log on to cinnamon session, go to overview (as we do in gnome shell session) and choose the theme wood n tux shown from the app grid of themes.

OPTIONS:
1. I ve used TUX as the activity button, Alternatively if ubuntu users feel that an ubuntu logo will look better, you can edit the gnome-shell.css file, search for act1.svg. replace that with act3.svg and similarly replace act2.svg with act4.svg.
save file and restart shell.

2. If you need a straight panel without the curve, edit the gnome-shell.css file.
search for panel-curved.svg and replace it with panel.svg. save and restart shell.

3. After coloring the iconset to 10-55-99, i customized that particualr colored set using the customization script with classy > card board option for the folder icons. This is my suggestion, Awoken icon set is so versatile that you can customize it after coloring it to suit the gtk theme that you are using....
kudos to champ alecieve for his amazing creation !

4. i came across another beautiful piece of art in this wallpaper by guillendesign which you can find here => [link]
