Public bug reported: I prefer that when I engage the Dash that it show a black background. The chameleon color changes that Oneiric introduces often results in less than desirable contrast between the Dash's background and its contents. I very much prefer that the background be black like it is in Natty.
A setting should exist that let's users disable the chameleon feature. Users should be able to run the Dash with a simple Natty-like black background. Maybe compiz-config-settings-manager could contain this setting? Or maybe a gconf-editor or dconf-editor setting?
