Fix at #8 only applies to Ubuntu themes Ambiance and Radiance. I've taken a look at the diff, and successfully applied that to Adwaita in the following way: mkdir ~/.themes/Adwaita cd ~/.themes/Adwaita cp -r /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0 . cd gtk-3.0 then, edit gtk.css and leave as this -of course scisors do not belong to the file- (note the first line is the one it already existed. Also note, the same block should be added to gtk-black.css if you use the black version for Evolution):
