What has to be done is simply adding something like: .nautilus-inactive-pane .view { background-color: shade (@bg_color, 0.8); }
in the gtk-3.0/apps/nautilus.css file for the Ambiance theme. Varying the coefficient (0.8) will make it lighter/darker. Or we could use another color instead of the default bg_color. After doing some googling, it seems that the extra pane does not exist in Nautilus 3.6 (https://live.gnome.org/Nautilus/Roadmap/3.6 and there's also a discussion here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-12-10 -may-ship-with-older-but-more-featured-nautilus). Probably this is why the styling was removed from Adwaita trunk. So, we should ask around if Ubuntu plans to stay with 3.4 for raring, otherwise this bug has no relevance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052481 Title: Nautilus's split pane lacks an indicator for the active pane Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Test case: Open Nautilus on any folder. Split pane using the F3 key. Click on an empty area on any pane. Both panes look the same, and its difficult (if not impossible) to know which panel is the active one. If you have a folder or a file selected, you can use the selection indicator to get a clue, but even in this situation you can miss it and operate on the wrong file/folder.
