I found similar posts, but those answers didn't solve my issue. I need to know can I install custom Shell-themes in ubuntu-gnome? If yes what are the best custo shell-themes and where can I get it? In gnome-tweak-tool i cannot select anything under shell theme. Any solution? I have already installed icon themes.

Download a theme>extract it>Inside it should have something similar to this:
As you can see there's a gtk-3.0 and a metacity-1 folder. These two folders should be in: /home/user/.themes/.
Then open up Gnome Tweak Tool>go to Theme>Window theme>Scroll down to the theme you want.
Log out, and done.
Are you logged in to GNOME Shell? Also, have you installed any extension?
As far as I know, the extensions only show up when you're logged into GNOME Shell. In Unity for instance, the Extensions tab is empty.

The Numix theme is my personal favourite. To install it -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install numix-gtk-themeOtherwise, download the theme file and extract the theme file to
/usr/share/themes.To set the theme -
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Numix"gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Numix"where Numix can be replaced with the name of the theme.
