Black Panel maximized window

[paulycalvin]

I have noticed that the transition from transparent Top Bar to black Top Bar when a window is maximized is not working. Is this functionality being removed? I really prefer it.

This is the piece of code I am talking about. From the shell theme and the Top bar. It doesn't work anymore?

/* TOP BAR */
#panel {
background-color: transparent;
/* transition from solid to transparent */
transition-duration: 250ms;

I have the same issue. Also the extension pixelsaver dosen't work.

The 'extensions' are not yet ready for GS 3.32, and so does not work as expected, or simply fail; except ubuntu-dock recently upgraded.

I am waiting for system-monitor for example.

Well the transition to a black top bar from transparent when a window is maximized is not an extension. I hope this is just a bug and not removed functionality.

From what I remember Gnome is getting rid of the translucent panel altogether.
What Ubuntu's plans are concerning this I've no idea, maybe you're seeing what now or maybe not..

[paulycalvin]

Yes that is my fear. I downloaded the latest gnome-shell default theme and I examined the code and I believe it has been removed. Still hoping this will be solved in Ubuntu.

[mc4man]

By now you should see the end result, both the panel and ubuntu's launcher a solid color.

Yes now that the default themes don't use transparency the transition isn't necessary. So it's a loss of functionality for 3rd party themes. For now I am using hide top bar until I can find a solution.

If you are using a theme that has transparency. It looks like crap when you have a window maximized and you have this transparent space at the top of the screen or bottom for that matter. I liked it when the theme transitioned to an opaque panel when windows were maximized.
