Rhythmbox, Seahorse, Evolution looks like "GTK2"
Hello,
I’ve installed Arch with GNOME to my computer. When I start Rhythmbox or Evolution, I noticed that the gray bar has no background:
It should look like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c … x_2.97.jpg
And it looks like this: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_fro … 966940.png
Do you know a solution?

which gtk theme are you using? it's probably not the same as in the wikimedia screenshot.

I’m using the standard theme: Adwaita.

That picture from wikimedia is from version 2.97. In the repositories is version 3.0.2. Maybe they changed the theme between versions.

No, they have not change the theme. I’m sure that’s a bug. The bar had to be darker like in version 2.97. If you hover the volume botton, the background turns a little bit brighter, so as in version 2.97.
The GNOME developers didn’t want that for sure.

I'm pretty sure that's been rhythmbox's default look since 2.99 or so.

It isn’t the look of Rhythmbox, it’s the look of all GTK applications. Seahorse and Evolution look also like this.

Well I can't speak for evolution, not having used it in ages. I do have seahorse and rhythmbox installed and I can tell you that the latter on my comp looks exactly like your screenshot. I notice that gedit 3.10 had the grey bar but gedit 3.12 doesn't. I think that the look you want is gradually being phased out of all the gnome apps.

Yep, this is a "feature" of GTK3 now... apparently
