Never filed a bug report, hope this is correct. I've been tracking this and not seen this mentioned (that I can remember) so perhaps it will shed some light.
I have solid backgrounds on my Firestarter, VLC, and Banshee icons. I have since installed RGBA transparency on Ubuntu 10.04. Once in use the three above tray icons were corrected in appearance - that is, they gained a clear background - and all other icons were screwed up. The icons that were fine, like Miro, Network Monitor Applet, Parcellite, Dropbox, and so on all gained a dark gray background. Since this was even uglier than before I blacklisted the notification area from using rgba transparency and everything returned to "normal". I'm no expert, but the before mentioned "alpha transparency issue" appears to be simply a difference between Ubuntu's pseudo transparency and the "real" transparency of rgba. I have found no way to make the two work together in the notification area, it's one or the other I guess, but it's a clear line to the prblem. Maybe in 10.10, when Ubuntu will supposedly have rgba by default it will be fixed? -- Notification area icon wrongly rendered/uses bg_color as a background (multiple apps) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
