Termial and Gnome Panel need to be excluded on the compiz negative plugin to allow for invert on default theme

[TommyBoy]

Binary package hint: compiz

Lucid i386 & amd64

This setting should be considered the default based on the default theme setting currently shipping with Lucid.

In the negative plugin for compiz the exclude list should be:

(type=Desktop) | class=Gnome-terminal | class=Gnome-panel

This means that on invert all the windows will appear inverted.

What happens now is that the termial is white and the gone panel and menus are white as they both alread have dark backgrounds by default.

This is a potential point of confusion for those users who are not used to setting up compiz and themes should be able to configure the invert attributes of certain components under compiz.

On further usage there are more problems with the current theme as now application menus are inverted based on the settings above. Again they are bright white and for me that makes them impossible to read. Invert using compiz has been great till these new more complex themes were introduced.

As you've noticed there is no good way to configure neg so everything ends up being white on black but that was never actually the point of it anyway, as far as I am aware. It does what it says, shows you a negative image of your screen/window.

The Guys at Ubuntu have added the terminal the the list of apps that are not inverted, so I consider this as fixed. This was not a compiz bug wrongly assigned really but I was not sure where to assign it.
