I've just installed fedora 17 and gnome-tweak-tool, but it crashes everytime and I can't change the theme. Any other way to do that?

You can do that with dconf-editor or in terminal.

  • Install gnome-shell-extension-user-theme (if you haven't already).
  • Enable gnome-shell-extension-user-theme:

dconf-editor: expand org > gnome > shell then edit the value field for the enabled-extensions key, adding 'user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com'to the existing elements (if any)

alternatively, in terminal, run:

gnome-shell-extension-tool -e user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com

  • Then enable your shell theme (e.g. Adwaita Sky):

dconf-editor: expand to org > gnome > shell > extensions > user-theme and change the value for the name key to Adwaita Sky

or, in terminal, run:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme name "Adwaita Sky"

A shell restart might be required after these operations: Alt+F2 >> r
