Ubuntu Theme and more

Question

I'm trying to customize Ubuntu 16.04 to reach this aspect:

Anyone know how customize dash windows and the top bar like the image? Thanks for help.

This is indeed Ubuntu GNOME. Most of the styling comes from the GNOME theme and shell extensions. The easiest way to install the shell-extensions is to go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ in Firefox, enable gnome-shell integration in Firefox, then just enable the extensions from the website directly.

Here's my stab at discovering which shell extensions were used:

• Applications Menu for the applications menu
• Weather for the weather in the top-bar
• Clipboard Indicator is probably the one that is left-most in the right grouping.

The Do-Not-Disturb-like icon (red circle with a dash through it) is the result of an error in the system (such as apt's appstreamcli error).

I have no idea where the chrome icon at the top came from, but you might be able to get something similar with the Taskbar extension.

For the theme, @serverus-tux suggested looking at numix-circles. That looks right, but I didn't look too closely at it. The install instructions are included at https://itsfoss.com/install-numix-ubuntu/, summarized here:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme-circle

You can use the gnome-tweak-tool to enable the theme.
