New scrollbars in wily (2015-06-04?) are hard to see (lack contrast) in Gnome Terminal

New scrollbars in wily (2015-06-04?) are hard to see (lack contrast) in Gnome Terminal. It's a light-grey scrollbar on a slightly-less-light grey background.

Strangely, the new overlay scrollbar in other apps like Nautilus is a slightly different grey with better contrast.

This might be a blending issue. I recall from Compiz days that Gnome Terminal is unusual in that it's an RGBA surface (has an alpha channel).

Per comment #1 sounds like a bug in that we're displaying the wrong colours over RGBA windows. So in that case may require no design change, just a fix.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

could you post a screenshot of an issue? thanks

The problem was the absence of the new scrollbar design (we were seeing the Gnome 3 scrollbars instead for a while on wily). Now fixed with the introduction of the new scrollbars.
