Changes in Elementary Gtk theme 3.0 version:
  • GTK3 support, including :backdrop class, but there’s no dark theme yet
  • elementary now uses the Unico GTK3 engine
  • Granite support (which is used by many applications that will be default in the elementary OS Luna, such as BeatBox, etc.)
  • Dropped GTK2 classes for GTK3 apps so there’s no more support for applications like Nautilus elementary and others (so any application that has a GTK3 version doesn’t have support for GTK2 anymore)
  • The default placement is now close:maximize
  • The maximize button has been changed from the “+” (typically used to mean new) to two opposing arrows
  • And More.

To install Elementary Theme via Noobslab PPA on Ubuntu/Mint GTK3 open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
