For Debian/Ubuntu users-

# apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Now open the tweak tool from application launcher and now you can customize so many options, for example, you can customize your themes, shells, top bar & icons.



But right now you can change your themes and icons in limited options if you want to add more themes and icon themes in your library then open the following site in your browser-

Open this website and search and download gtk2/gtk3 themes from the website. After downloading you will get compressed files and now extract that file and paste it inside /usr/share/themes by typing this command.

# cp ~/Downloads/file /usr/share/themes


After copying this file open gnome-tweak-tool and click on the new theme you will get a new effect.


Now I'll show you how to change the gnome-shell theme. Open this website again and search and download for gnome-shell theme from the website and extract that file and then paste it inside /usr/share/themes.
