View Full Version : [gnome] transparent panels in gnome-flashback-metacity on Ubuntu 17.04

I have recently installed the gnome-flashback package in my fresh Ubuntu 17.04, and I want to make the panels transparent like I always do. But apparently that's not an option anymore.
Is there any way to do it? Alt+rightclicking on the panel gives me a small menu, but no transparency options. I have also looked for the config file but I can't seem to find it.
I'd like to keep using metacity to conserve resources, if possible.

Use background color option under Theme tab. Color picker allows to change opacity...

Yes, there is an opacity bar there, but it doesn't seem to do anything. You can add a background, but changing the opacity of the background colour does nothing

Yes, I noticed that it does not work with Ambiance...

You can edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css or create if it does not exist. You can add `panel-toplevel { background-image: none; }` to unset background image from Ambiance theme. Then background color setting should work. Or you can add `panel-toplevel { background: transparent; }` and not use gnome-panel theme settings.
