Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

When I switch to the "Glider" theme, the deskbar (in button mode) does not chanegt it's background color to match the panel's (GTK's) color. It continues to maintain the "Ubuntu Human" theme color.

This is not a transparency issue. Neither is it an issue in "Entry" mode.

The screenshot was taken in Fiesty with deskbar package version 2.17.2-0ubuntu2.

I think the background for the history drop-down also uses the "Human" theme color, but not sure if this is expected behavior. Attached image shows the comparison.

I just noticed that the background color change does not take effect immediately after a change of theme but does change if the applet is reloaded or after logging out and logging in again.

Hi, I have noticed that all issues in this bug report seem to be resolved now (in Ubuntu 7.10 tribe 5).

This is after updating last night to deskbar-applet 2.19.91-0ubuntu1 (version found using 'dpkg -l deskbar-applet', thanks bmurray and BugSquad's FAQ for showing how).

Things specifically solved:

* Changes in background color now take effect immediately. No need to log out/log in or reload the applet for the change to happen.

* Changing theme to Glider, deskbar uses new panel's background color.

* Using other themes also works (tried Glider, Human, Clearlooks, Glossy and (ugh!) Inverse high contrast).

* Background for the history drop-down also uses the current theme color.

Another thing solved (it isn't in this bug, but I was looking for this when found this bug and could be possibly related):

* Icon now seems to have a transparent background, good (not in tribe 4 and tribe 5 before the update to deskbar-applet 2.19.91-0ubuntu1).

If someone can try the above things and get the same results, maybe this bug could be closed now.
