Icon's background in panel is not transparent

Regarding my previous comment about the latest updates to make the background of icons transparent, and after re-reading

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/42894

should this bug be reported to control-center?

thanks for noticing this... I'll get this done in the next days

The panel applet background is already transparent... it's only for the notification area icon if I'm not mistaken. Is this correct?
It won't be too easy to implement this then but I'll take a closer look later

oh well... this is fixed in 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 now :)

hrm... or maybe not *sigh*
I'll take a closer look tomorrow

Actually... does this fix it for you already? It doesn't work either with gnome-typing-monitor for me here although it should be fixed

ok it is definitely fixed... after restarting the panel (i.e. the version with the required patch) it works fine *sigh*

Fixed with banshee 0.10.10-0ubuntu5

gnome-power-manager was already fixed

fixed xchat-systray uploaded

I reopen here, using this theme (together with the murrine engine)

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Melancholy+Murrine?content=70659

The tomboy applet is still using another background. Even with a up to date hardy this problem is still relevant...

The background of Liferea's icon is not transparent (when the panel is set to transparent under the tropical theme and others in the repositories) WHEN it is started and the "Show number of new items in the tray icon." option is checked. Simply setting the option while it is running is not enough to trigger this. Liferea must be started after this option is set.

see my comment bellow

See bug 101980 for liferea

This is not the case anymore for me with Intrepid, can someone else confirm? (with Tomboy)

Hi,

on latest up-to-date Intrepid, the problem is still there. Notice that I use the tomboy panel-applet, not the notification-area one.

Note how Tomboy is transparent for all solid color options. Surprisingly though, it is transparent for background
image and not system theme - which is the image used in the system theme's panel, but in a different location.

^Here's a better image^

Confirmed on Hardy 8.04.1

For me Tomboy seems to be working correctly. I used both the "Tactile" theme and the Melancholy-Murrine referenced above and both look good to me.

Can anyone else confirm what I see?

Attached is an image of the Tomboy icon with the Tactile theme on top and Melancholy on bottom.

I can confirm exactly the same problem as Nanley in Ibex.
This is particularly visible with the Dust theme, which you can find here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme?action=show&redirect=Artwork%2FIncoming%2FIntrepid%2FDustTheme

I confirm the same problem with the NewWave theme ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/NewWave )

Same problem here with Intrepid. I'm using the Exotic-Murrine theme (http://tinyurl.com/dmqpav).

Can anyone confirm if this is still an issue for Tomboy in Jaunty or Karmic? It works ok for me in Jaunty with any theme now?

This seems to be fixed now.
