after reviewing the current beta release of oneiric, I found that there are mostly great design improvements. Just the nautilus theme looks quite weired. the sidebar looks like a "cancer" IN MY OPINION. that is given because the sidebar comes with a different color schema in the Ambience theme.
The most important part is that the sidebar does feel like a part of nautilus and not like a unthemed plugin....
My suggestions:
1) Toolbar, Sidebar and Pane with the same color and/or gradiant
2) ...or... The upper part of the sidebar could have the same color/gradiant as the toolbar and so "acting" as it would be part of the toolbar (although it's not)..
for suggestion one, I attached a possible tweak that I gimped. The upper part of the sidebar continues the gradiant of the toolbar and the rest of the sidebar continues uni-colored.
