Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

I really don't transparency is an issue when there are some under the Menu. Quicklist and notfy are good Exemple. I have never seen an issue when activating the menu. and there also some misunderstanding from us: The transparency is really not a problem because when we activate the menu

Well for 1) you can change the latence in CCSM ( default is 150 ms) may be 200ms would be good for you. for 2) there is not a solution for that , at least for now and please, this thread is to discuss the consistency of the indicator menu when the panel is transparent. Please open another th

Hello Friends, I am not an expert but there are some points I want to mention that annoys me about unity. To make it clear for close, maximize and minimize buttons I'll call widows control buttons (WCB), and File, Edit, View, Tools, I'll call Windows menu options (WMO) 1)

Trouble is that alpha and blur on window title bars could become very heavy when working with multiple non-maximised windows. On 30/10/11 10:01, frederik.nn...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 10:17, Matt Richardson > wrote: I love this idea

And I am sure that if it were really necessary, one could always implement a type of blur or something to keep text and colors from the underly windows from bleeding through. On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 2:56 PM, Chow Loong Jin wrote: > http://ubuntuone.com/7LNXXpuBOVSu20JTdSwLf9

Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

IMHO, what we have _is_ visually consistent. Indicators should be opaque over the panel, just like the icons on the unity launcher are opaque over the transparent launcher. I mean, I'm not saying this couldn't be an option; I'm all in for customisation. I just don't think it should be priority...

Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

I agree 100% with you Frederik. when you set the panel to be transparent , the panel menu look very out of place. It would be good or very good if the panel could use the same style as the quicklist's one with the same level of transparency as the panel. __

[Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

Unity introduces a new look, but Indicators Menus, which were there before the Dash, are not yet up to date in that respect. Obviously, there is no alpha for indicator menus, no way to set transparency in CCSM for them. I'd like to have control over that as a power user, power user being the bridge
