Finally updated to Gnome 3.6! Thanks to strycore, who has done it possible and now he is fixing minor issues.
A squared variation of the unity and metacity theme GTKdroid packaged with the GTK3 theme NIX. I have also included an alternative metacity theme for Gnome Shell based on Nööp theme. All credits to the original authors.

Yes I know. Strycore is now doing all the work, porting it to gtk3 and fixing bugs. There are not noticed problems whith Unity, but because of the upgrade to Gnome 3.6, Gnome Shell theme could be broken. But, you can use this nice GS theme for now [link]
This is one of my favorite themes I've ever used on Linux. I'm sick of all the newer themes being variations of just grey.
I'll be looking for some info on GTK 3.6 and how to port it, but considering the direction the GNOME devs are going, they'll probably purposely break all themes in the next GTK update anyway.
Thank you Ershio. Yes, I suspect the same about future GNOME releases. I honestly think that GNOME devs have lost the point. GNOME is a desktop environment, not a distro. It should be more long term stable and a lot more customizable.
Anyway, I would update the theme if I knew how to.
Hi, I've tried to fix some of the issues that appeared in Gnome 3.6. The current work in progress is available here : [link] with the main issue fixed (after fooling around with the theme, I realised that the GtkLabels should have a transparent background color). Let me know if you are aware of known issues so I can try to work on them

This is from the latest version available the moment I'm writing this.
Thanks for your comment!
