Bug Description
I'm using transparent panels, because that looks nice. Some icons, like the volume in systray has a transparent background. I think this package should have that too.

I was just about to report this, again ;)
gmail-notify's icon in the notification area has got a solid grey background.
That means that when the colour of the panel containing the gmail-notify icon is other than the default GNOME grey (e.g. another solid or transparent colour), the gmail-notify icon background does not match that of the panel's.
This is just a smal issue but it makes the panel visually unpleasant when not using the default colour and does not say much about GNOME's polish. Having a transparent icon background would make it independent of the panel's colour.
In the last few weeks there have updates to make the backgrounds of GNOME applets transparent, so I think it makes sense that gmail-notify gets this feature too, which IMHO would not be very difficult to implement.
