I hope you're not talking about the "scroll bar" that shows which part of the main (middle) panel / light table is currently shown. Low contrast, you say? I just see the exact same grey the whole way. With gtk2, the scroll bar has at least a visible black outline, AND it does become lighter when I hover the mouse pointer over it. Not so with gtk3... paka> > Also, it disturbs me a little that the area where there are paka> > supposed to be styles to choose from is the same grey as the paka> > surrounding area.

What? Look again, there's a module "styles" in the right panel in dt-en1.png. With gtk2, the area where the available styles are presented (as lines of text, no icons) is a slightly darker grey. Not so with gtk3, which makes it easy to think that area is just part of the framing of that module, since they are the same grey. paka> > dt-en2.png - shows darkroom, and the obvious thing is that the right paka> > panel hasn't been made to fit the modules.

Mine is set to 310 (300 is paka> default) but only to use all available space do display the photo in paka> darkroom view with the left panel hidden. It's configurable with gtk3 as well. However, with gtk2, the titles are cut off so they will fit that size. With gtk3, it seems like the panel width is seen as a min size, and as observed below, it seems like the calculated panel size from the lighttable view is used for the panel size of the darkroom view... paka> > dt-en3.png - shows darkroom with the levels module expanded.

Nope, it just takes away the left panel and provides more space for the middle one.
