Here is an article describing how to do that using "oomox" app: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/05/easily-create-your-own-numix-based-gtk.html
GTK Theme Preferences works with any GTK2 and GTK3 theme and lets you customize the following:
- selected background color
- Xfce panel, Gnome panel and Unity panel: background and text color
- menu background and font color
So install that by the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install gtk-theme-config
Once installed, launch GTK Theme Preferences from Dash / the menu, make any changes you want, make sure the "Custom widgets" toggle switch is turned on (or else the changes won't be used by your GTK theme!) and click Apply.
Then, you'll have to log out and log back in to see the changes. Unity users can also run setsid unity
in a terminal instead of logging out.

Thanks, But there are many things I need to change. I have selected proper icons, but I need to change the colour of icons on panel like Volume icon etc.. Second thing the white colour used for panel background or any nemo/nautilus backround etc is not pure white. I need to make it pure white. Third thing, the colours are not vibrant, The colour shade is a bit dullish. Sep 14, 2014 at 5:08
