Yaru: Drop upstream gradients

[Feichtmeier]

Maybe we should drop the gradients from the upstream drawing file for the headerbar and the buttons.
I think we had this also in some of the proposals I showed you.
Three lines of code change end up like this:

I think this is closer to the "original yaru" and everthing looks less round in the Z-axis
Downside is that buttons look less "press-me" :man_shrugging:

We could also only drop the gradient in the headerbar instead

Opinions?

For 20.04 ofc...

In that case, can the header bar colour be the same as in Yaru 1.0 ? I mean the refined ( matte ? ) white.

Could you please share the patch again? I'd like to see the difference on a VM

3 lines, but one could also think about only taking 1 of those 3

[Feichtmeier]

But to prevent the buttons to merge with the background, this is also needed in _tweaks

I took the liberty of editing the image you posted. I couldn't get the polished white as the header bar though. I used #fbfbfb

Personally, I prefer with the gradient that gives a little "depth" and "relief" to the interface.

[Feichtmeier]

Alright! Maybe you are right. Just leaving it open for some more opinions for some time.

[Paz-it]

+1 for removing the gradient. Closer to the original is what I like the most.

[jakedel]

I'm also in favor of keeping the gradients (maybe even extending them to the checkboxes/radio buttons for consistency?), subtle depth is a great way to indicate what can be interacted with or not, and is also a little more natural and easy on the eyes compared to big solid blocks of color.

[Feichtmeier]

Most people are pro keeping it. Closing for now
