Description Atreides 2005-02-09 07:51:02 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When pixmap gtk themes such as Rpanther2 or Amiga-BlueTabs-Brushed are used
applets ignore panel transparency and use widget background from theme settings  

Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn panel background to solid color
2. switch opacity to transparent level - enjoy cool transparent applets
3.  Using theme selector choose Rpanther2, Amiga-BlueTabs-Brushed , BBX-Mercury
(all themes taken from www.gnome-look.org) - and maybe other themes on pixmap
engines and watch applet transparency gone.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I can reproduce that bug, but only with specific applets :
the panel menu bar, the window selector applet, etc. So my guess is that
transparency handling in those specific applets is buggy somehow.  These applets
leave in libwnck and gnome-panel, so I'm reassigning to gnome-panel to attract
Vincent's attention :-)

The transparency is fine for me with other applets (eg the weather applet, the
netstatus applet, the clock applet etc)...
Could you confirm ?
Comment 2 Atreides 2005-02-09 19:17:39 UTC 
for me clock applet worked ugly same way, keyboard switcher was doing better.
Still Amiga theme was screwing them all :(  So I guess it is also depends on
theme used.

Might just be a gtk engine bug then.

I think this is a duplicate...
