In a previous post I showed you How To Make Ubuntu Look Like Mac OS X Lion, this time I have another transformation guide, to make your Ubuntu desktop look like Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. Ice Cream Shell theme is a Gnome Shell, which is based on the default theme of Android 4.0. This theme can be easily applied in Gnome 3, by using the Gnome Tweak Tool. Below is a step by step guide to give your Ubuntu desktop the Android look.

Step 4: Hit ALT + F2, type R, followed by ENTER or simply log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

Step 5: Launch the Gnome Tweak Tool and turn on “User Theme Extensions”, from Shell Extensions section.
