Ambiance and Radiance are not completely compatible with MATE

[Martin Wimpress ]

Hi,

MATE desktop 1.8.1 is now in the official Ubuntu 14.10 archive. However, there are some incompatibilites with the GTK2 version of Ambiance and Radiance and some missing icon assets.

  * Icons are missing for the volume applet.
  * The MATE panel background is not themed correctly.
  * Some of the selectors are not using the correct base color.

I'll prepare a merge proposal that addresses these issues.

This problem has come back with 16.16 and and Mate 1.12 panel colorization; can this be re-opened or should I open a new ticket?

Looking back at the merge proposals the decision was that the ubuntu-themes would be specific to Ubuntu/Unity and no additional support for other desktops would be accepted. I was advised to create derivative themes, which we have done they are called Ambiant-MATE and Radiant-MATE and are provided by the ubuntu-mate-artwork package.
