Public bug reported:

Software Center recently switched over to a new GTK3-based user
interface and we have some theming bugs outstanding that we need to have
fixed. These will result in some changes in the user interface, most
noticeably when using a light-color theme such as Radiance. There is
also a change to the appearance of the navigation buttons at the left of
the top navigation panel.

These primary rationale for this exception request is that, in its
current state, Software Center is nearly unusable when using the
Radiance theme (see screenshot at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/77454179/Navigation%20bar.png , an
attachment to bug 828092). The screenshot at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/78622321/Radiance.png shows the same
navigation bar with the proposed fix. Note also that bug 828092 has been
set to "high" importance because it is very easy to switch themes in
Ubuntu now.

The other bugs addressed by the proposed fix are bug 830681 and bug
830738. Again, these are mainly color changes that will serve to improve
the usability of Software Center.

There are no string changes associated with this freeze exception
request.

Thanks!
