Why doesn't my dock have the icons of my icon theme?

Question

I just downloaded Numix circle icon theme. I applied that theme from Unity tweak tool. Now my launcher and Nautilus has the theme I applied but Cairo dock doesn't. Why is it so and how to change my dock to get that theme?

PS :- I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity. I have also made some edits in my launcher as suggested in the answers here.

Cairo Dock has it's own themes. Either ask the author of the theme to make a theme for cairo dock or do it yourself. — xangua, Apr 25 '14 at 13:49
@xangua Hmm...Probably you must elaborate on this and post this as an answer. — Venkatesh, Apr 25 '14 at 14:04

I figured out that it was quite simple to have the Numix Circle icon theme in Cairo Dock actually ! I will show how to do it below.

Right click on any icon in the dock. Select Cairo-Dock > Configure as shown below:

Now in the Cairo-Dock configuration window select the Appearance tab as shown below:

Now in the Appearance tab after the option Choose a theme of icons select your icon theme(Its Numix Circle in my case) as shown below:

and voila! You have got your icon theme in Cairo Dock!
