Note: I cannot help with transparency, I have looked all over the place but not been able to find a working guide.
Create an empty file called .gtkrc-2.0 in /home
If you already have a .gtkrc-2.0 then just add the code to your existing file.
Paste the following code inside:
Code:
style "panel"
{
bg[NORMAL] = "#"
fg[NORMAL] = "#"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel"
class "*notif*" style "panel"
class "*Notif*" style "panel"
class "*Tray*" style "panel"
class "*tray*" style "panel"
bg[NORMAL] is what defines your Gnome panel handles colour, simply add the hex code for the colour that you require. - you will probably want it to match the colour of your Gnome panels.
fg[NORMAL] is what defines your Gnome panel text colour, again simply add the hex code for the colour that you require.
e.g.
bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
This gives me a handle colour of black and a text colour of white.
Now save the file, logout and back in and you should see the changes take effect.
