It seems that this bug is becoming sort of a meta-bug for several issues in different packages.
Bug 885691 (which was marked a duplicate of this) specifically addressed the themed background gradient not drawn correctly. A patch to gnome- panel was submitted for that bug and the upstream bug, gnome-bugs 663397, on remote watch here. The original reporter of this bug seems to refer primarily to the gradient background issue as being the impetus for this report. There are certainly other bugs that impact the visual quality of light-themes with gnome-panel 3. I would be happy to cross-ref those here if that's helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828392 Title: light-themes don't display well in gnome-panel 3+ Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: New Status in The Unico Gtk+ Theming Engine: New Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk3-engines-unico” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Please see the attached screenshots. Adwaita looks lovely in Gnome Fallback (aka Gnome Classic or gnome-panel) but Ambiance & Radiance do not blend right. It's probably worth looking at Adwaita's code to see what they do exactly to support Gnome Shell & Fallback. Perhaps light- themes uses too many hacks that don't all work well with the Gnome 3 switch. This is a high priority as a decent amount of upgraders who will try to keep using Gnome Fallback even though little developer time is spent to keep it working. And since there is not an obvious way to change the theme in Gnome 3, they may not know that switching to Adwaita will improve the appearance, or know how to do that either.
