Description walterhurry 2013-01-25 18:45:49 UTC

Description of problem:
I cannot establish background transparency in lxpanel

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lxpanel-0.5.10-2.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Panel Settings -> Appearance
2.Solid Color (with opacity)
3.Opacity 0
  
Actual results:
Panel background is solid black

Expected results:
Panel background should be transparent

Additional info:
Transparency is working perfectly in LXTerminal, so I don't think it's a compositing or video issue

Comment 1 Simone Sclavi 2013-02-08 19:49:42 UTC

Same issue applies to me: 
no transparency at all, both i686 and x86_64 version of lxpanel.

Comment 2 Steven Usdansky 2013-02-19 13:16:06 UTC

A tale of two desktops:

lxpanel transparency works properly in F17:
  kernel-3.6.11-5.fc17.i686
  xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-37.20120306gitf5d1cd2.fc17.i686
  xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.12.4-2.fc17.i686
  lxpanel-0.5.12-1.fc17.i686

but not in F18 or Rawhide:
  kernel-3.7.7-201.fc18.x86_64
  kernel-3.6.11-8.fc17.x86_64
  xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.6-5.fc19.x86_64  
  xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.99.902-1.20130215.fc19.x86_64
  lxpanel-0.5.12-1.fc19.x86_64

Comment 3 Simone Sclavi 2013-06-29 18:51:19 UTC

This bug is still present on Fedora 19 ... is there any chance it can be fixed?

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 10:49:40 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 18:29:44 UTC

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
