It seems to me that Unity doesn't have as many themes as Linux Mint Cinnamondoes, but since I'm running Ubuntu Kylin, I don't want to use Linux Mint anymore.
Are there any Unity themes? While XFCE has the prettiest Windows border, they cannot be used in Unity.

This might help you. The blogger says that the themes are for 14.04.

I would look at the link. 12.04 uses GTK 3.4 themes , 14.04 uses GTK 3.10, and 14.10 use GTK 3.12. Quality varies with 3rd party themes and some theme packages include more than one GTK version, but this is not always stated by the themes creator.

Agree 100%. Not only is it not always stated on those (usually) blogs but they rarely seem to give instructions on how to undo the changes if they don't work.

I actually won't touch 3rd party themes that don't come from the tested ubuntu repos.
