The theme must be selected once the installation is complete:

Configuration

Desktop managed by Nautilus

By default, the font color on a desktop managed by Nautilus is black. To set it to white, open the file gtk-3.0/applications.css with a text editor, find the code relative to Nautilus:

/************
 * Nautilus *
 ************/

/*
COMMENTED
CSS
CODE
*/

and uncomment it, as follows:

/************
 * Nautilus *
 ************/

UNCOMMENTED
CSS
CODE

To get a custom color, change the color directly in the file gtk-3.0/applications.css.

Window buttons layout

If after installing or updating Ubuntu, the window buttons are on the left side, but you want them to the right, run the following command in a terminal:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

Wallpaper

The wallpaper used for the Gnome 3 desktop screenshot is available in the folder wallpapers.

Icons

The icon theme used for the same screenshot is Mist, installed with the package gnome-themes, under LGPL. However, this package is no longer available with last Ubuntu versions. Here's an easy way to install Mist:
