Favorite Gnome GTK3 Themes

For March I've been testing the new Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu 12.04 beta 1 builds.
Below is my March desktop which resembles the older OSX Tiger look and a collection of favorite Gnome GTK3 themes. It is nice to have these all in one place.





The above theme is GrayDay theme and can be downloaded here:

To install the Elements-GS Gnome 3.x theme:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/themes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install elements-gs-theme

========================

You can add the Elementary and Evolve PPA repositories below:
Then just search for Evolve theme from the Synaptic package manager.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/themes

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install evolve-gtk-theme

==========================

To get the updated Ambiance and Radiance light themes
type the following on a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:victored/light-themes-evolved
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You can also go into Synaptic and search for "light themes" to avoid upgrading everything.

=============================

Remove overlay toolbars, from root terminal:

sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0
