Ok seemingly, this occurs only when updating an xfce 4.12 to 4.14 .. I already was wondering how this could have not been reported yet.. still figuring out the exact cause ..

I don't know if these themes support the Xfce panel in Gtk3, I suspect not. This is why the Gtk2 parts/plugins are themed correctly and the Gtk3 ones are not.

Please try Greybird-dark and see if that fixes the problem. If so we know it's the themes not supporting the Gtk3 panel.

This seems to work in the latest schuellerf/xfce-test container, so you may either be using an old version of the panel or an older version of Adwaita-dark.

Furthermore you can use the new "Dark mode" setting coming in 4.16.
