Description
This is a screenshot of the current GNOME Shell from Git which shows the new workspace thumbnails, large icons(size can be set in the css file) for applications and search with Wiki and Google.The workspace thumbnail panel slides out from the side of the screen and you can drag apps into the thumbnail, which creates a new workspace as well. The thumbnails show live, so videos play from the other workspaces.
Faenza icons
Games icon pack
This is most likely the final look of the GNOME Shell default theme (minus the Faenza icons of course) for the release in April 2011.

It looks really great ! but I thought it was Unity, not Gnome. Am I wrong ?

Nah, I was not talking about your wallpaper of choice. I meant that backgrounds should be blurred when using transparency in UI. It drastically increases readability.

Yeah well, GNOME Shell cannot do that at the moment.

Did they recently update the theme? The panel looks a lot nicer with that line under it.
Mutter effects also look more polished than compiz effects.

Yeah, a few days ago the theme got some nice new stuff.

Damn... Natty Alpha 2 is not working for me in VirtualBox, so I can't test it -.-

GNOME Shell is not part of Natty. You need a PPA to get it.

Design-wise, the only thing that needs fixing is the theme. ;(

The theme is changing slowly to look like the mock-ups. [link]

Honestly, aside from the application switching only being available via keyboard without using the Activities view (which I read the explanation of, and I agree with despite the fact that most computer users could care less for a Gnome developer's opinion on what makes you "productive" or not), I think Gnome-Shell is brilliant even in this state, and has a lot of room to grow and challenge KDE 4 on more equal ground.
I'm honestly glad that they're taking their design in such a different direction. Now we can see the best of both worlds, rather than a lot of copycat hogwash being respun every year.
Again, it will be worth the wait, I think.

OMG! Thank you very much for this screenshot
The current gnome-shell looks really promising, it's simply gorgeous!
I hope it works fast too.

You're welcome. Yeah works really nice for me and only the NVIDIA driver status icon bug slows it down.

nice to hear that, however do you think that it works on an ATI X1000 series graphic card?

As long as it has 3D enabled and the last Gallium3D it should yeah.

Nice, nice. I'll throw a coin, heads Gnome-shell, tails Unity.
