Are you on Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet ?, Bored of the default ambiance theme and Icons. Its time to change to new Ubuntu themes and Icons. Before We get into installing themes we need Unity Tweak Tool to Apply the theme.
How to Install Unity Tweak Tool ?

- Please note that Unity Tweak Tool is available in software sources of Ubuntu 15.04 but you might have to install it via a PPA in older versions.
How to Change Theme in Unity Tweak Tool ?

- Once you have selected the Themes option, you will find all the themes present in the system here. Just click on the one you like. It will be changed instantly. If you want, you can choose to change the icons only from the Icon tab. I prefer to keep the default icons supplied with the theme.
