You can grab a theme such as this: https://github.com/AlessandroSangiuliano/rik.theme Once installed, this can be set to active in the system preferences app, or via user defaults.

Then, enable client side decorations, to let GNUstep handle drawing the window borders, in a terminal run: defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackHandlesWindowDecorations YES And set it to use a single global top menu: defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSInterfaceStyleDefault NSMacintoshInterfaceStyle I think the above two items can also be found under defaults of the system preferences app too.

To get the dock, you can use GWorkspace, it has some configuration options that let you select the semi-transparent 'modern' style.

A few notes; The window decoration theming only applies to GNUstep applications, and if a GNUstep app isn't active, the top menu will disappear.

A bit late, but here is an example using nesedah theme. You have to change the InterfaceStyle and MenuStyle in order to get a global menu bar. I've used https://github.com/gnustep/plugins-sessions-windowmaker as a guide.
