Public bug reported: The Download Manager icon in the notification area has got a solid grey background.
That means that when the colour of the panel containing the Download Manager icon is other than the default GNOME grey (e.g. another solid or transparent colour), the Download Manager icon background does not match that of the panel's. This is just a smal issue but it makes the panel visually unpleasant when not using the default colour and does not say much about GNOME's polish. Having a transparent icon background would make it independent of the panel's colour. In the last few weeks there have updates to make the backgrounds of GNOME applets transparent, so I think it makes sense that Download Manager gets this feature too, which IMHO would not be very difficult to implement. These are links to recently fixed bugs regarding this same issue.
