The Faience pack has been updated today with new and improved icons for the icon theme, GNOME Shell 3.6 support for the GS theme and there's also a beautiful new GTK3 theme.

New design for the desktop, remote desktop, wallpaper, GDM setup, session properties, Terminal, Xterm, Twitter, Spotify and adressbook icons

The Faience GNOME Shell theme has been updated as well, and it now supports GNOME Shell 3.6 (for GNOME Shell 3.4, use the old theme version as this one won't work!):

The GTK3 / Metacity theme will probably remind you of the beautiful Equinox GTK2 themes, designed by the same Tiheum, which were very popular in the GTK2 era, but weren't updated for GTK3. Here's the new Faience GTK theme which includes GTK3 (GTK 3.6), GTK2 and Metacity themes:

There's also a dark Faience GTK theme, used by the applications that specifically request a dark theme (like EOG for instance), which can be forced by using GNOME Tweak Tool (Theme > Enable dark theme for all applications), but the dark window titlebar is only available for GNOME Shell so in other desktop environments, you'll get a dark theme with a light titlebar.





Here's how the dark Faience GTK theme looks like in GNOME Shell:
