Software Centre has a custom theme to match the rest of the system.

I like it! Will be giving this a try when I get home :)
If you use HexChat there is one last tweak to do otherwise it'll look funny (white background next to gray borders.
So to have your HexChat/Xchat/similar look like that you need ot change your Foreground colour to white and your background colour to grey.
Same goes for a couple of other programs that look funny after this such as Mumble which you'd want a skin for to get the dark look.

I used to use DeLorean dark for cinnamon for a while...The metal like look is really nice. I changed though because it made the hot corner functions a small bit less smooth. Does it have that affect on gnome too?

Go into Unity Tweak Tool and 'Numix Circle'' in Icons.
Project TIB Mumble Skin
Mumble Window:
The Mumble window itself looks great but the settings window is a bright white, although you shouldn't need to use it much.

I'm so glad you posted that, I hate the Ubuntu purple and orange.
Throw this here too. This is the wallpaper I'm currently using to match the rest of my customizations.
At this point I'm using this thread as a log of my customizations so I can restore them when I reinstall / setup a new machine.
Any reason that would make unity tweak tool fail to install? Running on 12.4
If you can't install via terminal try installing via the Software Centre.
