I am also learning 'theme development' from trial and error and if there is anyone out there who can help me become more skilled and create better themes than please let me know ;-) - Jun 14 2014

I would post your question at http://askubuntu.com/ and see what can be found there. I hope you can resolve your missing icons.
I would use tweak tool to revert your theme back to Ambiance and the Icons to Humanity then try =>
you can copy the old gnome icons into the icons folder and try using them...
Launch terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
whoami [remember the output]
sudo su - [enter your password]
sudo chown -R whoamioutput:whoamioutput /usr/share/icons
exit
exit
Now you can copy the gonme-old folder into usr/share/icons without any issues. Copy them from the tar.gz extracted folder.
Use the home folder to go to computer => usr => share => icons. Right mouse click and select paste.
The first thing I do when I install Ubuntu is
sudo chown -R me:me /usr/share/icons [paste in gnome-old]
sudo chown -R me:me /usr/share/themes [paste in my themes or other themes]
sudo chown -R me:me /usr/share/backgrounds [change the default wallpaper colour to purple or whatever my client likes]
sudo chown -R me:me /usr/share/software-center [paste in the fixes for dark themes]
sudo chown -R me:me /var/cache/apt/archives [I paste the .deb files into this folder so I only need to download them once ;-D]
I hope this helps! - May 06 2014

1. Run Terminal (press and hold Ctrl + Alt + T)
2. In Terminal type
whoami (remember this name as we will now use swar)
3. Switch to super user by typing
sudo su -
4. type your password into terminal
You are now ROOT User or Super User!
5. To change the permissions of the theme folder type
sudo chown -R swar:swar /usr/share/themes
6. Remember swar should be your whoami result / account
ie: if you are becky then it should be...
sudo chown -R becky:becky /usr/share/themes
7. You need to leave ROOT User or Super User so type
8. exit
9. then to leave terminal completely type
10. exit
11. Now you can click on home folder and go to
File System
12. Double Click on the directory
usr
13. Double Click on the directory
share
14. find and double click on the directory
themes (hint = just type the directory name and then press the escape key when you are in the directory after double clicking on it to exit the find directory /file function)
15. Now you can paste in copied themes as though it was your home folder or desktop
Hope this helps ;-) - Sep 16 2012

2. Go into the sub-directory "metacity-1"
3. Open the file titled "titlebar-mid-focused.png" with Pinta (you will need to have installed Pinta first: sudo apt-get install -y pinta)
4. From the menu options in Pinta select "Image"
5. Then Select the Menu Function "Flip Horizontal"
6. Save Your altered File
7. Now Reload the Theme
8. Your Logo should be on the left and not the right ;-) - Sep 16 2012

Please remember I have created and are maintaining 19 themes so it will take time for me to make suitable changes and apply them to all themes, upload them and then edit each page for each theme.
I also intend to possibly create a variant so users have a choice of a solid colourised or transparent top panel. - Sep 15 2012
