I agree this doesn't look right. I've just removed "Expected outcome" from the description because that's the problem description and not a place where the solution should be decided. But we can list possible solutions here in the comments:
* Keep the panel always black. * Keep the panel always translucent. * Merge the panel and titlebar into one. * Something else?... ** Tags added: visual-quality ** Description changed: Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 light-themes: - Installed: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 + Installed: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 Since windows no longer merge with the top panel when maximized in 17.10, a jarring double gradient is produced instead. Steps to reproduce: Maximize a window - Expected outcome: If the window cannot merge with the top bar, a - seamless visual transition between the top panel and the title bar is - produced. - Actual outcome: A double gradient with a sharp line where the top of the title bar meets the top panel is produced. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717023 Title: Jarring double gradient when window is maximized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/+bug/1717023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
