Top panel confusing when expanded beyond 32 pixels

[Christopher Neville-Smith]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I prefer to expand my top and bottom panels in GNOME to 48 pixels. Unfortunately, under Lucid's default settings it appears GNOME handles this by repeating the top-bottom image for the last 16 pixels, which, when put against a window, makes it difficult to tell where the panel stops and window starts.

Might be easier if I attached the top of the screen, then you'll see what I mean.

I know I can get used to this, but it's an annoying usability issue.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. BTW That's a theme issue and not gnome-panel.
