GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 45417
transparent windows don't show icons from Nautilus desktop
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When you set the Nautilus desktop background it doesn't set the Gnome desktop background. When you set other windows to "transparent", you see the old Gnome desktop background, not Nautilus's desktop background. * REPRODUCIBLE: Always * STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Set Nautilus to seize the desktop, and then change the desktop background. Then open up an xterm window (or something else) and set its background to transparent. * ACTUAL RESULTS: You will see the old Gnome background. * EXPECTED RESULTS: You should see the new Nautilus background.

I'm pretty sure this is long-since fixed. (I recall verifying a bug just like this several days ago.) ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-01-03 17:09:15 ---- Mike, I know you've done a lot of work to make these two backgrounds similar and perhaps you can explain the limitations of what we've done. Also, I changed the summary to what I think is the real bug here. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-01-03 17:10:05 ---- I just realized this could just be something transcribed from Nautilus feedback that was long ago fixed, as Eli says. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-01-03 17:39:59 ---- Oh! I didn't even know they were supposed to show icons when I verified the other bug! ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-01-03 17:46:52 ---- THe bug I was thinking of was 1675, ("Windows with "transparency" see the Gnome desktop, not ours.") ------- Additional Comments From engber@eazel.com 2001-01-03 17:51:29 ---- The background pattern (image and/or color) should appear to show through in transparent apps. However, the icons will not show through. Showing the icons was never envisioned as far as I know (the gnome desktop icons don't show through either). ------- Additional Comments From engber@eazel.com 2001-01-05 16:00:28 ---- I got an email from Hassan, and he says it's not a problem between Nautilus and the background capplet as he intially reported. He was using another background program, Chbg (http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/chbg/) ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-01-12 18:09:04 ---- Rubber-stamping Verified WORKSFORME/INVALID. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:53 ------- The original reporter (taska@eazel.com) of this bug does not have an account here.
