Also, the applet handles should be able to set to become partially visible on mouseover (ie not a block of grey, but some compromise). Also, the icons in the system tray should match color / transparency of the rest of the panel. These things are sore thumbs in what would otherwise be a gorgeous setup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at bottom of screen. 2. 3. Actual Results: It wasn't entirely gorgeous. Expected Results: It was amazingly gorgeous. Additional info: Thanks!

Can the owner of this bug set its Version to devel? This seems to be applicable to newer versions.
In particular, the Nofification area (version 2.14.0) and left/right panel boundaries do not properly support transparency.
Created attachment 127789 [details] Illustration of incomplete transparency This picture illustrates the incomplete transparency of the notification area and panel edges. The notification area has a box around it to show where it is.
Hi guys, The tasklist supports transparency now. Closing... The notification area icons need to be fixed on an app by app basis (either switch to GtkStatusIcon from libegg, or patch their libegg to support transparency). feel free to file individual bug reports as you run across problem apps.
