Bug Description

Synaptic does not fit well with Greybird theme, take a look at the picture. It affects Bluebird as well, and Albatross too.

I think I can help with a patch, but I don't know where to start.

This is a known issue and is due to the fact that Synaptic packs stuff in a toolbar that usually doesn't go there (a custom search-bar). I personally don't feel like bisecting its code just to fix this tiny glitch, but if you want to submit a patch, that'd be welcome.

Ok, so I've come up with a workaround. If you add this snippet to gtk-widgets.css or some separate css file that you include in gtk.css, Synaptic will look ok. Downside is that since Synaptic doesn't set a widget-name or has a separate class, this will affect all other apps with the same widget structure...

GtkWindow > GtkVBox > GtkHandleBox,
GtkWindow > GtkVBox > GtkHandleBox > GtkHBox > GtkToolbar {
    padding: 6px;
    border-style: none;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,
                                      shade(@toolbar_bg_color, 1.0),
                                      shade(@toolbar_bg_color, 0.88)
                                      );
    box-shadow: inset 0 -1px shade(@toolbar_bg_color, 0.75);
}

Weirdly enough, the HandleBox has a special style class, which is called "dock", so with this I was able to create a very specific/unique widget path. Fixed in https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/commit/202917d2ca7cdd3f44779d86798f6c4eea6dffe7
