GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 617637
Background options in panel properties (transparency, custom image) do not apply to applets
Last modified: 2020-11-06 19:56:29 UTC
Panel's background properties do not apply to applets if the theme specifies a background pixmap. If "Solid background" or "Background image" is chosen in the panel's preferences, all the applets still use the pixmap. Bug originally reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349774 Screenshots: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24416886/panel.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41411209/Screenshot.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47229460/ScreenshotAllThemes.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47408507/panel-transparency%20%281%29.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42297202/semi-semi-transparent-panel.png Per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364427, reporting for gnome-applets and not gnome-panel. Offending applets include, at least, the main menu, Tracker applet, tray, indicator-applet, clock and the window switcher.
I see this also.
Well, what applets is this exactly about? Probably up to there code. > Tracker applet Not part of gnome-applets. > tray What does that mean? > indicator-applet Not a GNOME issue.
Sorry, I don't know the exact applets name. Here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47408507/panel-transparency%20%281%29.png affected are the Gnome menu (top left), notification area (where NetworkManager is; that's what I meant by 'tray'), and window picker applet (bottom). Should a new bug be opened for tracker applet?
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
