Should I show off all the JavaScript and CSS patches I had to write to fix the horrible work GNOME devs puked up? GNOME Shell uses JS and CSS for its visual effects and I pretty much dumped everything the devs did and re-wrote the style scripts.

This script allows you to change the text and icon of the Activities button. It takes a lot to customize GNOME 3. Theming it is easy (sorta) since it's just images. You have to write a script that'll interpret 3rd party styles though and use them.
