Your own shell

the customization in gnome shell is limited. but with the right combination of themes & applications, it can be quite good & productive.
my combo is

1. Zukitwo-Cupertino shell.
2. Adwaita Cupertino theme.
3. Mac-Snow-Leopard icons.
4. maximus gnome-shell extension.
5. system-monitor gnome-shell extension.

And here i have my very own shell.
