Hi Seth I have put such a proposal on Ubuntu Brainstorm and had also proposed the idea of semi transparent background an year ago but there was little interest in it. I can work with you to make this happen and I'm sure it will be the best improvement we can make towards an interface that feel more human. So is there anyone else who would like to help?
