You could achieve that design only by adding a pixmap to be used as sidebar background.
BUT the toolbar size could change depending on the font dimension, that means the gradient across the sidebar and the toolbar will work only on the font size was used to snapshot the pixmap you will use in the sidebar.

All you can do is using a flat dark color, for example, but that is not
nice at all (still better white, IMHO).

Title:
  suggestion: nautilus tweak in ambience theme

Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in Unity:

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  hi,

  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.

  -------------------------------

  Desired solution:

  Update Nautilus theme to follow the attached "tweak suggestion" image
  (suggestion 1 above)
