Description Tom Massimi 2012-08-16 23:57:42 CEST
in MGA KDE default desktop theme,
the panel has the Transparency enabled.

This brings a lot of readability problem if you are using the panel 
autohide option, and it doesn't bring great improvement
if you are not using the autohide 
(if the panel is fixed, what you want to see under it??) 

Here some discussion on how the transparency works on KDE's panel 

http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=86579

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165795


The solution I have used on my MGA2 is:

install plasma-desktoptheme-aya (a theme with less transparency)

systemsettings->workspace apparence->desktop theme
tab details
for Panel Background I choose "Aya Panel Background"


My question is:
it would be possible to use a default panel background without transparency?
or at least change the panel background when the autohide option is selected?

I think it would be nice to have it for a lot of users

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
