Is there anyway to fix this issue with greybird/nautilus 3.4? There is no border at the top of the sidebar which looks kinda bad: [link]
I'm using the latest greybird from the shimmer-themes ppa on ubuntu 12.04. I tried using the solus os patched nautilus like in your screenshot, and the theme looks good with that, but unfortunately a bug with that version of nautilus really annoyed me so I'm back with regular nautilus 3.4 (with the patched nautilus the breadcrumb/locationbar is a fixed width no matter what, and doesn't change with the window size like its supposed to )
In case anyone else is wondering, I actually got better results adding a section from the css file satya linked to the current version of that css file. If I just use that old gnome-applications.css file it gives me a border on the top, but messes with the border on the right (there's no border on the section where the toolbar meets the sidebar).
What I've done is add this to the bottom of the nautilus section of the gnome-applications.css file in the current greybird version:
For some reason it doesn't show up in my themes list. I removed the old Greybird (I actually put in an .Greybird-old folder on my desktop but that's not the point) am I missing something? I tried installing manually as well as with the PPA. I have Xfce 4.10 on Xubuntu 12.04 if that helps. Thanks.
For those who would like to see the window titlebar control buttons of this nice theme in Ubuntu 12.10 Unity Dashboard window as well: You can use this script [link] to backup the default ones, and this script [link] to create symbolic links to relevant images in the unity sub-folder of the theme. These scripts assume that the theme is under the system folder "/usr/share/themes" and should be modified otherwise. The first can be run by user from anywhere, but the second one should be placed into the "unity" sub-folder of the theme and run from there in terminal.

/* sidebar */
NautilusWindow .sidebar .frame {
border-color: shade (@theme_bg_color, 0.8);
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
border-style: solid;
}
Doing this gives me the desired look for vanilla nautilus 3.4, a full border along the top and right:
