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.
