Though I have no inside information on the development process of this, I think I have seen this coming for a long time. <BR>
<BR>
In Ubuntu 12.04, I noticed that Gnome applications - particularly Evolution Mail, started having black-backgrounds in a lot of places - some of them important. <BR>
<BR>
I assumed this was done to match the much-favored (and pushed) black/dark color scheme called "Ambiance" of Ubuntu. <BR>
<BR>
When they did this, it required me to change my color scheme so that button text is now yellow, since black on a black background is invisible. <BR>
<BR>
I actually like the yellow button text better in my color scheme, but there are a few contexts (in the Eclipse IDE, for one example) where you end up with yellow text on a white background, which is extremely difficult to read. <BR>
<BR>
It annoys me that they are pushing <I>their</I> favorite color scheme (Ubuntu only has two choices) at the expense of everyone else's. <BR>
<BR>
Though I really wish developers would respect users' color choices, and not make unreasonable color assumptions, over the years I have observed that this wish is never going to happen. <BR>

What's a typical application to check? Either my machine is not making the black borders or I have no GTK3 applications.<BR>
