I've been working on gtk3 themes for the past few days and i'm currently 
working on porting the default Trisquel theme to gtk3(see 
http://grvrulz.deviantart.com). I'm also testing the gnome3 fallback 
interface(which uses gnome-panel 3 and unlike gnome-shell, does not 
require 3d acceleration), with compiz and metacity. I guess i'll come up 
with some nice results soon.
All testing is done on parabola GNU/Linux, but everything will be easily 
applicable on trisquel(5.5).
