From the ArchLinux Forum:

edit the css in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css 
(the .panel-corner properties).

The credit goes to the forum user "gimmy". Refer to the original forum in the sources below if you would like to view the entire thread.

For the people who use a custom theme: A better way is to modify the gnome-shell css file of the theme. If you use a gnome-shell.css file with your custom theme, edit the file with a text editor and just add these lines:

.panel-corner { 
 -panel-corner-radius: 0px;
 -panel-corner-background-color: transparent;
 -panel-corner-border-width: 0px;
 -panel-corner-border-color: transparent;
}

"Remove Rounded Corners extension" is a good extension but sometimes it bugs with the "User Theme" extension...

Any easier way to remove rounded corners and have it persist even after theme updates is to use the Remove Rounded Corners extension.

There is a package called GNOME Tweak Tool sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool that allows you to make changes to the interface, and install new themes. You can find additional GNOME-Shell themes here, and perhaps other sites as well.
