Ambiance-RW-DS-blue
This is a re-interpretation of the Ambiance-theme, and theming is done for the gnome-desktop only. No support for other desktop's.
The original Ambiance theme is part of Canonical official themes (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-themes) and has the license GNU GPL v3, Creative Commons - Attribution Share Alike
The themes presented here are in no way affiliated with the official Ambiance theme.
The changes are made with respect for the way it was written: this means changing colors in 'main.gtk.CSS' will have no advers effect on the changes I've made.
I've only redone the GTK 3.20 file, so the changes are only visible in a gnome 3.20+ (yes, also 3.28) environment (including ubuntu 18.04).
So what is changed?
Version 1.0
Titlebuttons are now a little further away from eachother.
The headerbarbuttons are reduced to be less clunky.
Reduced the size of the switch button in the headerbar-button.
Nautilus sidebar is recreated to experience hover-effects and new button-style.The background is a color-gradient and the (ugly) separators are refined. The right-side of nautilus is now consistently white.
Remade the left-pane of Tweak-tool to create hover-effect and same styling as the nautilus side-bar.
Revamped the left-pane of the new Settings-app to act the same as the left-pane of the Tweaks-app.(removed zebra-stripping)
Removed the white border around the tooltip.
popover-menu's are 'modernised' with gradient-colored backgrounds, fuller buttons, and shadow-effects.
App's with a menubar have an consistent gradient-color to match the titlebar, so they look as one complete background.
Removed the gnome-terminal-code, because you can choose your own background via profiles.
Window-shadows are bigger overall.
There is still much room for improvement in the Ambiance theme.(f.e. the buttons are still images, when GTK 3.20+ makes it possible to recreate buttons using CSS only.)

Version 2.0
I've redone the headerbar bulkier and readjusted the height and size of the headerbar buttons. Next I've done away with the backdrop-state of windows, so focused or not the heading looks the same, this was done to simplify GTK2-theming.
The blue version is an idea of 'phayz' who had trouble changing the theme, so I've done everything for him (which, btw Phayz, was a hell of a job. That orange come popping up everywhere...) I hope You like it.
Version 3.0
I have fixed the font-choice of context-menu's (holding initial font).
The nautilus-sidebar-gradient is lighter and softer in the standard version.
The titlebuttons: I reduced the white shadow so the buttons look less heavy. Also - because of the darker headerbar - recolored the standard-close-button to a darker-orange.
Added a transition time delay, so buttons react smootlessly into another state.
Redesigned the hamburger-menu-items in hover-state, and hover-state-backdrop with shadowed text.
drop-down menu-item in comboboxes are remade with gradient-background and shaded buttons in white.
Biggest change is the addition of two new companions: Ambiance-RW-DS (Dark sidebar) and Ambiance-RW-DS-BLUE. I have redesigned the nautilus-sidebar (and filechooser-sidebar) so that the icons-background looks seperate from the background of the places-list.
There is still much room for improvement in the Ambiance theme.(f.e. the buttons are still images, when GTK 3.20+ makes it possible to recreate buttons using CSS only.)

Sorry for replying so late but I *love* the blue variation. I can only imagine how much time, testing, and tweaking it took to get it looking so good. Thank you!!!

How do I change the colouring of drop-down lists? At the moment the highlighted element of a drop-down list is dark grey on a blue background. If I change `selected_bg_color` back to its original colour, I see dark grey on a dark orange background.
