Description Juan Rial 2005-03-05 22:05:44 UTC 
When you make the panel fully transparent on a dark background, the font on the
applets that support transparency become unreadable due to the font being black.
Either transparency should take the background color into account and compensate
for this, or the font color for applets should be customisable so the user can
select a color that doesn't cancel out on the background color.

You are correct the applets font colour is set to black.

However if you set the panel only semi-transparent you are still able
to read everything.

I would not mind a customisable font colour.

Implementing an auto-panel-background-colour would be quite difficult; imagine a 
wallpaper changing from bright to dark horizontically. what font colour should 
be picked then? a small part of the panel would be harly readable in any case.
