I can confirm this, it looks kind of ugly

Can confirm this too, background depends on the style selected at "Appearance"

Basicly the plugin is a menubar and get's most of its look from the chosen theme. Haven't found out, what it makes special, that it doesn't obay parents transparency.

transparancy_for_0.2.1.patch Edit (16.8 KiB, text/plain)

The fix is pretty intrusive, so you would better just use 0.3.1.
you can of course use attached patch and still call it 0.2.1 which would be a lie though.

---------------
xfce4-indicator-plugin (0.3.1-1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/patches:
      + 01_search-for-indicator-0.4-pc.patch: libindicator-dev .pc file was
        renamed, update configure{,.in} to search for the new name. lp: #808009
      + xubuntu_exclude-modules.patch: add a blacklist option. Some modules
        are unneeded/redundant/badly work on Xubuntu (e.g. appmenu), so give
        the possibility to ignore them. Refreshed to apply cleanly.
      + series: refreshed.
