There are more transparent widgets in Gtk3 - scroll bars and toolbars.
Attached patch patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
Attachment #8389807 - Flags: review?(karlt)
I don't know that it makes sense to make a scrollbar trough transparent.
If we need to make it transparent to make it look right, then something must be drawing behind it, but what is that?
If a scrollbar is drawn for a scrollable div in a document, then I assume it gets the background from the ancestor elements in the document, which I assume is not the background expected?

Further it looks like Adwaita has an opaque linear gradient for the trough background, and GTK's default theme has a solid color, so which theme has transparent scrollbar troughs?
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/tree/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets-backgrounds.css?id=3.8.4#n26
Is the issue that the gradient is only drawn as far as the radial borders?
What is the appropriate background outside those borders?
Would it be the document?

I don't understand what "@borders" means in the linear-gradient notation.

    background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,
                                      @borders,
                                      shade(@theme_bg_color, 0.95)
                                      );

This is probably good, if you change the checkin comment to say what is changing and are happy with other content showing through the transparent bits.

Thanks! The patch forces gecko to don't rely on widgets own background and always paint underlying widget, which is usually GtkWindow.
