Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-05-09 17:12:03 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/400394 ]

It seems themes using the smooth engine doesn't work with panel transparency. 

"All of these fail to obey the panel's transparency setting behind the Menu Bar. All but SphereCrystal fail to obey the panel's transparency setting behind the Clock."
Comment 1 Andrea Cimitan 2007-06-01 10:28:57 UTC 
It seems fixed here, probably you should try a more recent version
Comment 2 Benjamin Berg 2007-06-01 12:52:43 UTC 
Andrea, I have just checked, and for eg. Amarath almost everything is not transparent. Reopening.
Comment 3 Andrea Cimitan 2007-06-01 14:23:12 UTC 
This is a bug of gtk pixmap engine, not a bug of our.
Closing
Comment 4 Benjamin Berg 2007-06-01 14:40:00 UTC 
Uhm?
Andrea, Amaranth uses the smooth engine, no pixmap/pixbuf engine involved there. So I still do not see a reason to just close the bug.
Comment 5 Andrea Cimitan 2007-06-01 14:51:57 UTC 
Sorry, every pixmap theme has this bug, smooth also.
Other engines seems to have this fixed.
So we need to fix it for smooth then close the bug and open something in the gtk section to fix pixbug engine
Comment 6 Benjamin Berg 2008-08-04 15:06:53 UTC 
Closing as OBSOLETE as I have removed smooth from gtk-engines.

Comment 8 Mark Warner 2008-08-30 00:28:09 UTC 
Why should smooth be removed rather than fixed?  Is there a good reason to simply break backwards compatibility with any theme which uses the smooth engine?
Comment 9 Thomas Wood 2008-08-30 23:05:26 UTC 
The smooth engine has been un-maintained for a long period of time and has several problems. For example, there are issues with the licensing of it because it borrowed heavily from other sources under different licenses. It could continue to be available as a separate package if there is demand for it.
Comment 10 Mark Warner 2008-08-30 23:58:06 UTC 
Makes sense.  Thanks Thomas.
