Looking for something where I can change the system wide theme. Such as changing folder icons...

You need to look at how to change the LXDE theme, your Raspbian system is NOT running Gnome (thankfully, because it's an ugly resource hog).

Is there an easy apt-get application that will help me adjust the UI of Raspbian?

Had a look at that and guess that's perfect for what I'm looking for but how do I actually install that in Raspbian?
