Description:

Started with Ambience as the base theme. Changed some things to look how I wanted.
-Sidebar in Nautilus is now Dark.
-Sidebar items in Nautilus have a hover effect.
-selected_bg_color changed.
-Buttons have color when hovered.
-Tweaked some gradients and removed unwanted borders on widgets.
-Active notebooks have a hint of color.
-changed the hue of all the .png images for widgets. (What happened to drawing them with the theme engine?)
-adjusted the text shadow for a recessed look within the selected_bg_color.

You can change the accent color to what you want by changing the selected_bg_color in the following files:
/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
/gtk-3.0/gtk-main.css
/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

I don't use Unity so I didn't touch anything for that.

I think it might look better and more consistent if you replace all those shades of orange in all assets with shades of grey.

Is there a sort of automated way of replacing colors in those indexed PNG files?

Not sure of an automated way. I did most of them in gimp.
