Remember transparent level across sessions

[adel]

I like some objects to be semi-transparent like gnome panel, I usually make it semi transparent holding alt then moving mouse wheel, the problem that those objects lost its transparent level as soon as I log out, this shouldn't happen!

I am changing this to Compiz because that's what handling the transparency. I do not know which plugin enables the Alt+mouse shortcut, though.

Of course, the instant I hit submit I found what I was looking for.

Adel, as a workaround please try installing compizconfig-settings-manager. Under general options, click the Opacity Settings tab (it's off to the right.) In the section labelled Window Opacities, add a new rule using New. Then you can set which applications (such as gnome-panel) that you want transparent, and how much. I think this will save across sessions, although if you change the transparency later with the mouse wheel it will not.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release (maybe live CD)? Thanks in advance.
