I tried it once and it not only failed, but was several WEEKS work for me to try to get things almost to how I had them. I know for some, a clean install is not terrifying or doesn't take them long. Not so for me. > Are you using default theme - Ambiance? Then panels should not be black. > I wanted that you change back to system theme to check if problem is in > custom style.

I'll have to check which theme I'm using and will have to research how to tell. I think, but not sure, it is not the default one. Panels are definitely black now. In 12.04 the color and transparent panels worked perfectly. I also can't seem to add launchers for many of the programs and monitors [temp, disk activity, etc.] I had on them before.

I mentioned before that my 14.04 [on a very fast machine] takes about 10-15x longer to start than did 12.04 - so many reboots really takes a long time! > 2) Try to customize panel style - do serveral reboots. > > This way you will find what part is causing problem or you will be lucky > and problem will disappear. Pfft! A lot of time and work...but I'll give it a try. I fear like death a 'clean install'....
