[ubuntu-art] Inconsistence of gradients and artwork colors

[bvc]

I can understand different elements and it's nice to bring these out, but the current progressbar is...I don't know what it is (2 lines with a mid-to-top gradient?). It most definately needs to be smoothed out and in doing so will automatically look more like the titlebar, so, just make it like the titlebar. I can't recall anyone saying they like it, All comments about it have been negative, so obviously something is wrong and it doesn't make sense to keep it as it is.

design requirements. Plastering the same gradient everywhere would
look horrible and I'd be strongly opposed to it.
