With my Debian installation (testing version, fully upgraded) the issue is not present. I tried many themes/icons combinations and the applet background is transparent.
In Jaunty I noticed that only two of my themes presents this issue: DarkRoom and Dust. With both themes I tried with different icons sets (Crystal SVG, GNOME, High Contrast Inverse, Simple, Tangerine; from gnome-looks: Bamboo-Zen, Dropline NOU! and Oxygen-refit 2). I also noticed that the applet background is changed according to the Windows Background set under the Colors tab in the them customization window. Maybe the problem is that the two themes do not take into account the particular windows background color. -- Gnome Network Monitor panel applet doesn't have properly transparent background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/79610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
