Bug Description

Right now, wingpanel looks weird with almost every GTK+ theme, since the wingpanel-specific GTK3 theme parts are shipped as part of elementary-theme. This is in direct violation of this statement in the elementary stylesheet README:

> If an application needs a unique style, it should be bundled with that application.

Can you be more specific about what "looks weird" means?

For example, with the default gnome theme (Adwaita, the panel is 100% transparent (I guess that much is intentional), but with grey-ish text (completely unreadable, depending on the wallpaper), see screenshots attached to https://github.com/decathorpe/elementary-stable-rpms/issues/7. Other themes have similar issues.

I can confirm that Adwaita uses grey text for menubar. I have to investigate what to do that won't hardcode styles into the panel and prevent others from actually styling the panel correctly
