GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 732520
Header bar should be semi-transparent when in fullscreen mode
Last modified: 2016-01-06 12:46:58 UTC
The header bar is transient and overlaid in fullscreen. Making it semi-transparent will fit with this better, and will communicate the temporary nature of chrome while in this mode. Using the OSD style would be appropriate.
The way it's currently built, we cannot make it semi transparent, as instead of the video, we'd see black underneath. This is a technical limitation due to our use of clutter-gtk.
With https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758876 we can make it transparent as it becomes part of the clutter scene. The thing is, chances are the stuff below is going to be black.
