We have seen some cool themes earlier, like Paper, Arc themes which comes with Dark and light version. However none of them having the Green as base color.
Canta theme is a Green color based GTK theme which is available for GTK 2 and GTK 3 based desktop environments. You can install in in latest Ubuntu GNOME Shell along with all distributions which supports GTK 2 and 3.
This theme comes with 11 variants classifying in base, light, dark, round, square and compact version for each.
Looking at the theme, one striking difference compared to other themes is rounded corners of the application windows. Also a cool background art for the file manager.
Canta theme works best with its own icon sets along with the Numix Icon set.
