Question: First the picture:
[enter image description here]
As you can see in the image, the colors used for the icons and the words
Applications and Places (In spanish in this case) have a different background
dark gray color than the rest of the panel. Also the icons look rather bigger
in that panel. Now my questions are:
1. Can the background colors be customized so they look the same all the way
through the panel.
2. Can the icons be somehow minimized a little so they don't look strange
(bigger actually)
3. How to edit the way to add icons to the panel. I have to actually hold
the ALT key and right click on it to show the context menu which shows me
the option to add something. That extra key press is not friendly at all.
In this particular case I am trying to help an older man start in Ubuntu. Unity
is too much for him but Gnome is friendlier for him (Learning curve is not the
best for older people.. specially 68+ year old people).

Solutions Sample (Please watch the whole video to see all solutions, in order of how many people found them helpful):

You must use Alt + Right Click in the panel... In some cases its
Super+Alt+Right CLick. You will see the properties option, as well as Add To
Panel :-)

In short the solution to problem 1 is to correctly set the background image
according to the ambiance theme.
ALT+right click on panel and select 'Properties'. Select tab 'Background' and
set 'Background image' to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/img/panel.png

This works, the only problem left is fixing the font color on the Window List.
EDIT: I found a fix that works for me. Just include this snippet as well in the
gtk.css file:
PanelApplet .button,
PanelApplet .button:prelight {
color: #aaaaaa;
}
EDIT2: It appears the fonts were fixed in the theme distributed by Ubuntu now,
so this is no longer needed.

You can also customize the Applications and Places menu names using the
language file. I changed "Applications" to "Apps". This saves some valuable
space.
1) Download the oneiric gnome-panel .po file for your language from http://
bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/gnome-panel/oneiric/files/
212/po
2) Edit the string you wish to change in the .po file. It's easiest to use a
UTF-8 text editor, like gedit. Original:
#: ../gnome-panel/panel-menu-bar.c:183
msgid "Applications"
msgstr "Applications"
Edited:
#: ../gnome-panel/panel-menu-bar.c:183
msgid "Applications"
msgstr "Apps"
3) Run msgfmt on your edited file, creating messages.mo. Rename it gnome-panel-
3.0.mo, change the owner and group to root.
4) Make a backup of the file we are going to replace, at /usr/share/locale/?/
LC_MESSAGES/gnome-panel-3.0.mo (with ? being the locale you're using). Just in
case something goes wrong.
5) Replace the file at /usr/share/locale/?/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-panel-3.0.mo (with
? being the locale you're using) with your edited file.
6) Logout and login. Or run killall gnome-panel.
