Now a days there are much themes are in development for Gnome Shell because every new release of Gnome Shell makes old theme highly incompatible and bit difficult for creators to manage their themes for newer version of Gnome Shell. But there are still some people who are working on Gnome Shell themes. Here is one of the theme called Mist, basically this theme is inspired by the appearance of the GDM3 login manager, the main goal of this theme is to make Gnome Shell fully transparent. This means a panel that blends right into the desktop, simple flat, transparent buttons, and the bare minimum when it comes to menus and elements that overlap the work-space. This theme is compatible with Gnome Shell 3.24/3.22/3.20/3.18/3.16 and 3.14 versions, you need to enable user-themes extension in Gnome-Tweak-Tool to change Shell theme.

A new theme suite called "Arc Theme" offers flat themes with transparent elements for Gtk 3/2 and Gnome. It is compatible with Gnome 3.22/3.20/3.18/3.16 and GTK 3.22/3.20/3.18/3.16, it works under most of the desktops environments which uses GTK engines to render the theme, such as Unity, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, and so on. This pack offers three versions 'Arc' which is combination of much Light and less dark colors, second is 'Arc Dark' which offers full dark color, and 3rd 'Arc Darker' also had combination of light & dark theme, you can choose theme whatever meet your requirements. This theme is not compatible with Linux Mint 17 because the version of Linux Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty which uses old GTK version which is not compatible with this theme. There is also arc theme available for Firefox. Arc icons looks great with Arc theme and both makes desktop pretty amazing. You can use Unity Tweak ToolGnome-tweak-tool.
