**************************************************************
Note: Since Gnome Shell 3.32 some things have changed.
Latest version (2.3) is for Gnome Shell 3.32 and you must use a panel transparency extension with this version.
Look below for my suggestion on useful extensions
! If you have an earlier version of Gnome Shell you should use version 2.2
**************************************************************
Carapace Ardent is a bright and spacious theme with some candy for the eyes. It is a bright version of my previous theme, Carapace.
The panel is dynamic, when it switches between transparent and solid the colors of text and icons changes too. Just like Carapace, Carapace Ardent is using the font Lato.
!
If you don't yet have Lato search for "ttf-google-fonts-typewolf" in your package manager or go to: typewolf.com/google-fonts ... Or just get it here.
-- If you download it then extract the archive in:
~/.local/share/fonts
I have kept the overview dark which creates a nice contrast from the rest of the desktop.
The hover and focus -colors are the same as in Carapace: Blue for hover, Green for focus, Yellow for attention and Red for critical attention.
Note: There are two variants available. One with the Slim Dock, which Carapace has had from the start, and a new Pantheon-ish Dock.

::: Installation :::
Method 1)
- Extract Carapace-Ardent in $$CODE1$$ or $$CODE2$$
- Start/restart Gnome Tweak Tool and pick the theme
Method 2)
- Open the arcive straight from Tweak Tool. It'll do the work for you.
::: Required Extensions :::
- User themes
- Dash to Dock
::: Useful Extensions :::
- Dynamic Panel Transparency
-- Because transparent panel is awesome (only required with version > 2.3)
- OpenWeather
-- Because while the Gnome weather-program is cool, your location might not be there.
- Mconnect
-- Any KDE Connect user needs this :-D
- Custom Corner
-- Creates more freedom
- Blyr
-- Adds blurred background for the Overview
::: NOT Recommended Extensions :::
- Carapace (version 2.2) has a built-in responsive panel. So an panel-altering extension is not needed, and for the full experience not recommended whatsoever.
::: Other than that :::
- Have fun and rate it up if you like my work... Or Pling me... Or buy me a cup of coffee: paypal.me/hackan301
:-D

For the record I categorized this as minimalistic due to that the design is meant to get the desktop out of the user's way. If you have opinions on how the theme can improve its minimalism you are more than welcome to write down your suggestions/wishes. Just put on a more constructive tone.
Cheers
