There were big changes from GNOME 3.18 to GNOME >= 3.20. A lot of
themes are simply discontinued. Try using a gnome default theme such as
Adwaita. On Arch Linux I stayed with gnome-themes-standard 3.18.0,
while Arch is at gnome-themes-standard 3.22.3, since >= 3.20.0 Adwaita
become disgusting for GTK 2 apps. Since you didn't mentioned what else
you upgraded, there could be other pitfalls as well, e.g. related to
freetype2-infinality, but actually I don't know at what point Ubuntu is
regarding the infinality issue, let alone a PPA. To keep a long story
short, depending on the cause, there are workarounds for e.g. things
like the freetype2-infinality issue or there are absolutely no
solutions, e.g. if non-GNOME themes didn't migrate to GTK >= 3.20.

You can get the latest .deb for Debian testing for your architecture
from here 
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/evolution
from where, with a fair amount of patience and data tracking you can
download all the dependency .debs too.

3.24 isn't out yet though, the latest version available is 3.22.6-1
(Debian naming convention applies)

Good luck,
Dom.

Well, I added that ppa and updated my system according to what the
update manager flagged, but something that was updated made a mess of
my menus and other screen rendering, as in the attached screen shot of
the upper left corner of the Evolution window. How can I recover from
this?
