It doesn't have much customization available (to be honest, I think you can only customize the background image), but the shell and the applications are stable. I really like it. However, if you only want to try it out, maybe it's not worth the effort of installing from the overlay and all the unmasking and compiling required.

I would love a window title bar a little smaller. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

I would love a window title bar a little smaller. I started by modifying it myself. I really wanted the top panel to look more like my GNOME2, panel. And now it does (actually GNOME 3 fixes a problem I had with GNOME2 whereby I had the clock widget in the middle, but when I switched to an bigger external monitor it would not automatically stay centered. GNOME3 fixes that.) I changed the font size and face either in CSS or the tweak tool. The dialogs (log out, etc.) which you don't see in the screenshot were grabbed from the CSS of another theme. The title bar is from the Hope theme. I only grabbed the window manager part as I wasn't interested in the rest. -a
