However, these bars no longer look the same together as in normal windows: their background colors are very different with no smooth transition.
I think this superb theme will look much better if this issue is resolved (e.g. with a slightly darker unity panel?) as, for example, in the Greybird theme.

1) Open the file "gtk-apps.css"
2) Cut the whole "Unity" section (top 41 lines), paste into a new file, and save it as "gtk-unity.css"
3) Delete the whole "Gnome Panel" section (between Nautilus and Gnome Terminal sections)
4) Save and exit
5) Open the files "gtk-main-css" and "gtk-main-dark.css" and insert "@import url("gtk-unity.css");" as a new line at the end of each, and then save and exit
This ensures a smooth and seamless transition between Ubuntu's Unity Panel and maximized applications' menu/toolbar.

For some reasons, Ubuntu 12.10 provides Nautilus 3.4 but you can install the new version via a PPA.

1) Use this script to backup the default icons for buttons:

2) Use this script to replace them with symbolic links to relevant icons in your themes unity subfolder:

One issue I noticed however, is that this theme doesn't play nice with gnome-panel (aka "Gnome Classic" in Ubuntu). The color around the time/date and global menu text is a different color of grey than the rest of the panel.
Thanks again for the fantastic theme!

In the coming days we will realize some more.
The error are desktop icons as you can see in the screenshot 1, the letters are not icons.
The suggestion is screenshot 2 where I put a mockup of closing window

- Lyrics of the top menus of messages off ... looks too little, gray font in so clear that almost invisible on any computer.
- The "x" for closing windows would put more red shading hardly see.
- The letters of the icons is too light. Not seen in the desktop, should have the same hue as ambiance.
On the other hand, can tell me where I can change the color of the highlight and the progress bar to pass from blue to orange ubuntu. This theme would be perfect if it were in orange is the official color of ubuntu, and besides being a visually high-contrast color is better.
