Theme Issues In Key Applications In Ubuntu 14.04

I am experiencing issues in Firefox, Thunderbird, Chromium-browser, LibreOffice Suite and Gnucash failing to use Ubuntu Unity's Ambiance theme, its default theme. I have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit and both confirms this bug. It seems like this is not isolated to Ubuntu but is also reported in Mint and OpenSuse.



Thunderbird 24.4




Firefox 28.0



LibreOffice Calc

As opposed to Rhythmbox which is using the correct theme elements for Ubuntu Unity



Rhythmbox

This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. Other than the obvious aesthetic inconsistencies, none of the applications affected show any other bugs.


Update: In the interest of fairness, I have reboot my Ubuntu 14.04 and all the applications above mentioned are using the Ambiance Theme for now. I don't know what is happening here. But it seems to me that the system sometimes fails to wait until every piece of software is ready to go.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
