Some time ago I found a solution to a similar question:
Start systemsettings, go to "Application Appearence" -> "GTK". Change 
the selection for GTK3 Theme from oxygen-gtk to something else and click 
the "Apply" button.

I'm not sure if that helps in your case as well because that was for 
14.04. I don't have a 16.04 system to try it there.
