Area selection square is opaque (at least in nautilus)

[Alan Morgan]

When holding down the left mouse button and moving the cursor in nautilus, a square is drawn which selects the items which are within the square. A problem with the gtk3 version of this theme is that this square is an opaque white, meaning that it is harder to know what is being selected.

/* Nautilus Mouse-Drag-Selection (transparent) */
.rubberband {
    background-color: alpha (@selected_bg_color, 0.35);
    border-color: @selected_bg_color;
    border-radius: 0px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
}

Fixes this (it's working fine in marlin).

It works in Marlin but it doesn't in Nautiuls :(
The weird thing is that this exact code for the rubberband is used in other themes such as Radiance and it works there, but it doesn't work in the Elementary GTK+ theme.

I found a fix to the problem.
In the gtk-widgets.css file change this:

.rubberband {
    background-color: alpha (@selected_bg_color, 0.35);
    border-color: @selected_bg_color;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
}

to this:

.view.rubberband,
.rubberband {
    background-color: alpha (@theme_selected_bg_color, 0.35);

    border-color: @theme_selected_bg_color;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-radius: 2px;
}

Hey AZorin, thanks for your fix. For future reference, please don't mark a bug as "fix committed" until the fix has actually landed in bzr. Marking it pre-maturely can mean that this bug ends up never getting actually fixed because the tracker says it's already fixed even thought it's not.
