The Unity Desktop
Installed the Ambiance Touch for Willy theme on my Thinkpad W530.
I like it, it is flat, the decorations and the windows are tiny, and it looks rather nice, spiffy and modern.
One thing tho, by default, the theme is called "Ambiance", and since I don't like to install themes under "~/.themes", I have renamed it as "Ambiance-Touch" and installed it on the global/ for all users location, on "/usr/share/themes/".
I d'loaded and extracted the tgz file on "~/Downloads", renamed the original directory "Ambiance" to "Ambiance-Touch" and then cd onto it, and edited the files:
The index.theme file looks like this: (using my custom cursor!)

Type=X-GNOME-Metatheme

GtkTheme=Ambiance-Touch
MetacityTheme=Ambiance-Touch
IconTheme=ubuntu-mono-dark
CursorTheme=basic-goofy-black+
ButtonLayout=close,minimize,maximize:
X-Ubuntu-UseOverlayScrollbars=true
INTOH, on the metacity-theme-1.xml file, all I did was simply changing the name on the name tag, line 5.
