Install the Webupd8 PPA for themes and the AWN meta packge.

Let us know if this helps.

I've tried changing this also but found no solution. It is an applet in AWN titled "indicator 3 applet". Right click the middle part of the task part > Dock Preferences > Click Applets. Toward the bottom, you will see a small window titled Active Applets. The "indicator 3 applet" has an icon with a blue circle with a lower case letter "i" in the middle. Delete this applet by clicking and dragging it off the Active Applet window. Then, I would add applets to replace the deleted "indicator 3 applet". This is the closest solution I could come up with to resolve the issue. (See link below for thread to my solution, as I asked the same question back in September).
