How do I change Unity launcher theme color?

Question

I wanna change Unity launcher theme color in Ubuntu 14.04LTS, so I read this article. It says to use MyUnitiy but I cant find it in Software Center. Which repository should I add to install MyUnity?

I think that tool is not for ubuntu 14.04 – Null pointer May 03 '14 at 17:28 — Null pointer, May 03 '14 at 17:28

This tells you why you can't install it: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/myunity

What do you say about Unity Tweak Tool?

enter image description here

Install it with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

I have tried Unity Tweak Tool, Gnome Tweak Tool, CCSM, Gnome Colors and changing themes; but I can't set the launcher to be transparent!

As you can see here, if I set the launcher to be any color, it works perfectly for the topbar, but not for the launcher. When I set "based on wallpaper", again works for the topbar, but the launcher turns in that dark grey.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

I have tried all, I know it's not crucial, but I'm pissed off now!. I have been even looking at the .css files of ambiance, trying to find a block about the launcher and tweak it manually, but I couldn't do it. (I'm a CSS illiterate though)
