Bug Description

Range sliders' troughs in GTK+2 are currently all light gray, while those in GTK+3 are dark gray, filled with orange up to the slider position. The latter look appears much better, and the GTK+2 version should be changed for consistency and aesthetics.

See the picture at https://plus.google.com/109509247327281928543/posts/AHheFMDeJWC for how they currently look.

Should they also behave the same way, where the troughs are small when not hovered, and large when hovered over?

@kroq-gar78 I'm not aware of any size changes which occur when they're hovered over, just the sliders becoming lighter and gaining an orange glow. There should be no changes to the trough itself...do you have a comparison screenshot illustrating this?

Oh, looks like it's a completely different bug... sorry :P This only
happens with the sound menu's volume bar.

Interesting...thanks for catching that! No, ideally the trough should not change size, but you're right, that is a separate issue you found.

This should definitely be fixed before we make a beta release. I tried playing around with it once before, but didn't make very good progress on it. Would you be interested in taking a look, Aditya?

Actually, I'll take a second look at this since I've been messing around with the GTK+2 lately.

This is the best I can manage, unless somebody else knows how to use the slider images along with differently-colored troughs on either side of the slider.
