With auto-hide enabled, the dock darkens independently of the panel

[Andrew]

It is possible to get the Dock to grey the background before hiding, but the headerbar remains transparent. This looks amazingly weird to me and think the previous behavior of the background between both Headerbar and Dock being coordinated was nicer. I do also really like the transparent headerbar with the Dock hidden, and I suspect this issue is a byproduct of that change.

Initially reported as a problem with the GTK community theme, which the dev team investigated and determined the issue was with Dash To Dock and/or the Ubuntu Dock. Link to the original Github issue, includes images and some discussion:

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the problem (in Ubuntu 18.04).

Okay, apport integration all set, report submitted. The background color of the shell is consistent if the Dock is not set to auto-hide, but with auto-hide on it will turn grey without the Top Bar inhereting.

Thanks. Yes I somehow missed the part about auto-hide.

Next, please report the problem to the dock developers here:
