I have one query though, which code in which file do I change to adjust the font colour that I see in Firefox drop down URL history ?
I love the light blue it has but unfortunately against the medium greyish backdrop I can not read it (strange colour on colour tolerance with my eyes).
If you can advise and maybe briefly also advise what else that particular change will affect I would be most grateful.

I have "solved" this by replacing the "9px" by a "2px" padding in the gnome-shell.css file, line 1209 (#notification).
I am using the Faenza icon theme, which also replace the default rhythmbox icon.
And thanks for this awesome theme !

When you press F3 and enter into dual pane mode in Nautilus it's nice to have the inactive pane with a light gray background (which was missing at least as far as I can see ;-)
This can be achieved by inserting the following lines below line number 10 and immediately above the section "/* desktop mode */"
(./gtk-3.0/apps/nautilus.css)
=================================================
.nautilus-inactive-pane .view {
background-color: shade (@base_color, 0.96);
}
.nautilus-inactive-pane .view:selected,
.nautilus-inactive-pane .nautilus-canvas-item:selected {
background-color: @backdrop_selected_bg_color;
color: @backdrop_selected_fg_color;
}
.nautilus-inactive-pane .expander.view:selected {
background-color: @backdrop_selected_bg_color;
}

Probably there's nothing you should do more...
After realizing that it doesn't affect Nautilus as Root, I used Bleachbit (both as user and root) to perform a thorough cleaning including all cache, etc. and then rebooted my computer.
Now I don't have the problem any more :-)
It must have been a system bug with cache or something...
I'm glad it's over now :-)

My temporary solution: use a symbolic link from Zukitwo-Dark theme instead.
I also think that sidebar and toolbar background colors are not the same, and a little darker shade could look better.

How can they be exactly same. The toolbar uses a gradient and the sidebar uses a color exactly in between, so almost same.

1) Sidebar and Toolbar background colors are very different. Examples: Ambiance and Adwaita
2) Sidebar and Toolbar background colors are slightly different. Examples: Ambiance Blue and Radiance
3) Sidebar and Toolbar background colors are no different. Examples: Zukitwo and its variants
Maybe there is a slight difference which I cannot see.
Of course it's just my personal humble opinion that my favorite theme Ambiance Blue could perhaps look better if the Nautilus sidebar background color could be slightly darker and closer to the (dominant) shade of color in the toolbar.
It's not a big deal of course...

background-color: shade (@theme_bg_color, 0.95);
In the toolbar,
background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom,
from (shade (@theme_bg_color, 0.96)),
to (shade (@theme_bg_color, 0.94)));
So the background of sidebar is almost same as the toolbar. My eyes don't see a difference!

It's strange though. I don't experience such problem with Zukitwo... I'll check this out...
Sorry for taking your time...
Thanks a lot...

I've even used the nautilus.css from Zukitwo instead of yours, no difference.
Here are the screenshots of Ambiance Blue, Zukitwo and Zukitwo-Dark themes all in one file (to check if it's because of my eyes ;-)

Finally, a very odd thing:
I've just realised that I don't have this problem when I open Nautilus as Root -- with exactly the same themes selected!
No file permission issues, all of my themes are in /usr/share/themes...
An interesting puzzle!!!

The declaration in nautilus.css is specified only for nautilus and the styles in gtk-widgets.css should be overriden by it (it is a basic rule in CSS and it happens so in my system). Probably there is a bug or what. But gonna fix it anyways :)
