Ambiance theme no longer sets a dark color for panel by default

[Pacho Ramos]

After updating from 0.1.8.32 to 0.1.9.1, Ambiance theme no longer sets a dark color for panel (see screenshot).

Thanks for solving this

I have this issue as well when using mate-panel.

We're no longer supporting gtk+2 panels

I am suffering from the same problem. I have the same thing as Pacho Ramos's screenshot.

Linux Mint comes with MATE as default and I desperately want to use Ambiance with it. I urge you to reconsider your gtk+2 support policy!

Thanks pacho, that's a helpful link.
If you download the tarball for the revision before:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg/light-themes/trunk/revision/223?start_revid=223
Then you can copy the missing files back into your /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0 directory and there we go, MATE looking nice on the latest Ubuntu :) Just for the benefit of anyone googling like crazy like I was.
