I am on Gnome 3.14 and customizing my OS via Gnome Tweak Tool, i have installed Arc-Theme but it doesn't fully customize
my OS as it does on newer Gnome versions, for example window icons like minimize/maximize etc. are still not changed.
Screenfetch shows this:

And im a bit confused now, do i have to set WM theme seperately somewhere?
The window icons are only changed in Nautilus file browser.

Re: WM Theme
Maybe it is just a language thing, but the title of the topic, "WM theme"
Suggests the OP is asking about a Window Manager, (WM) but then the post
is with screen shots of a Desktop Environment, ( DE )
What is the difference in Window Manager and Desktop Environment
I picked this one randomly,
To avoid a really long post trying to explain the difference, the OP should look at and read some of the results.
So, I am also confused as well, if it is a DE or WM theme the OP is asking about.
but if I am understanding this question correctly,
or what ?
If you want to use a WM (Window Manager) instead of a Desktop Environment,
then yes, it is completely separate, and you need to decide which Window Manager you want to use , there are many.
When you boot Debian, and login you can select which DE or WM manager
you want to use, the options will vary depending on which ones you have installed. Obviously you will only have the ones that are installed as options.
The themes that come with "OpenBox" for example, are what you have for
Open Box,... Open Box is a window manager.
Of course you are not limited or restricted to just the default themes that
come with it, you can design and build your own themes, and also find
"ready made" ones,....but do not get confused,...the themes intended for
a Window Manager, are not going to be the same as the ones intended for
a Desktop Environment.
There is to much to try to explain in one post. Some research and searches
by the OP, would save every one a lot of trouble,...
Here is a couple of places to help you get started.

Any way,From: https://www.maketecheasier.com/differen ... ironments/
Linux users that prefer to use their computers inside window managers instead of desktops don’t understand the need for a desktop environment. These type of people think it’s unnecessary. They view it as bloated. This, of course, is just an opinion.

Re: WM Theme
What i meant is that you can for example use Xfce4 and Openbox together, and then you have to select both GTK theme and openbox theme right?
So i was wondering if i would have to do that aswell on Gnome, or all i have to do is select Arc-Theme in Gnome-Tweak-Tool

Re: WM Theme
It's been a while since I used GNOME regularly but look for an option to change the "shell theme" or similar, I think you have to turn on the user-alteration toggle and then pick the shell theme.
If you can't figure it out I will load up my stretch box and spoon-feed you

I did select both GTK and Shell themes in Gnome tweak tool as you can see on second screenshotHead_on_a_Stick wrote:It's been a while since I used GNOME regularly but look for an option to change the "shell theme" or similar, I think you have to turn on the user-alteration toggle and then pick the shell theme.

The thing is that i was doing it already on newer Gnome versions in Debian stretch and Ubuntu, and theme was applying to all windows.
As you can see on screenshot below Nautilus and terminal have different minimize/maximize icons
