Public bug reported: I am using the GNOME 3 fallback mode on Ubuntu 12.10 I set a panel with transparent background [1]
==> As a result, - the free areas of the panel are transparent - But all the applets get a solid background color, instead of a transparent one. for example indicators, the clock applet, the character palette applet, etc. it makes some applets unreadable like the clock or the character palette - there is one exception: the launchers get a proper transparent background I am using the Ambiance theme. This seems (?) to be the same story as with bug 349774 [2], but with the GNOME 3 technology (GTK3 / CSS). As far as I understand (?) the theme sets a hardcoded solid/gradient bacground, so when you set a transparent background to the panel, the applets keep an hardcoded solid background. Then maybe (?) something to do with /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/gnome-panel.css. Just a guess. I may be completely wrong.
