Could you add support for Ubuntu 16.04?

Could you make the color of the left panel (the one that contains the directory tree) the same color as in version 2.3 ?
I love v2.3 so much but I'm using ubuntu 14.04 so I can only use v1.2

Love Libra Dark. Legacy Tray support is missing though. I added this to the gnome-shell.css file.

.legacy-tray {
background-color: #272727;
border: 0px solid #616161;
border-bottom-width: 0;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 0 #616161; }
.legacy-tray:ltr {
border-radius: 0 0px 0 0;
border-left-width: 0; }
.legacy-tray:rtl {
border-radius: 0px 0 0 0;
border-right-width: 0; }

.legacy-tray-handle,
.legacy-tray-icon {
padding: 6px; }
.legacy-tray-handle StIcon,
.legacy-tray-icon StIcon {
icon-size: 16px; }
.legacy-tray-handle:hover,
.legacy-tray-handle:focus {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.0); }
.legacy-tray-icon:hover,
.legacy-tray-icon:focus {
background-color: #3cb0fd; }

.legacy-tray-icon-box {
spacing: 12px; }
.legacy-tray-icon-box:ltr {
padding-left: 12px; }
.legacy-tray-icon-box:rtl {
padding-right: 12px; }
.legacy-tray-icon-box StButton {
width: 24px;
height: 24px; }

White on white text in Geany (gtk2) search dialog (ctrl+f)
Otherwise theme is great!

Ok, a bugfix soon. Your theme, however, has something wrong, because you are not displayed buttons and check

This is the very first time I've found a "flat" theme that I liked and also found very usable. Nice job.

I am using Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon

This is an example of what should be present:

However, for this image, the close radio button is not present:

Even though the window allows me to close by clicking the blue box, there are some window types that I can not close unless I right click it.

Thanks for your bug report. Unfortunately I do not use Mint, so some bugs may occur. The next version that I will release will be for GTK3.14, then I will try to verify Mint bugs.
