Hello Friends, I am not an expert but there are some points I want to mention that annoys me about unity. To make it clear for close, maximize and minimize buttons I'll call widows control buttons (WCB), and File, Edit, View, Tools, I'll call Windows menu options (WMO) 1)

Well for 1) you can change the latence in CCSM ( default is 150 ms) may be 200ms would be good for you. for 2) there is not a solution for that , at least for now and please, this thread is to discuss the consistency of the indicator menu when the panel is transparent. Please open another

[Ayatana] Proposal: make menus more accessible with shift+F10 for mouse pointer teleport.

I really don't transparency is an issue when there are some under the Menu. Quicklist and notfy are good Exemple. I have never seen an issue when activating the menu. and there also some misunderstanding from us: The transparency is really not a problem because when we activate the menu
