Bug Description
After i logged into Unity I experienced a really disturbing recolor of the Launcher and the Dash. I currently have a very dark Wallpaper on my Desktop and the color that Unity chooses for the Launcher and Dash does not seem to look right.
reproduce this with:
1) choose a rather dark wallpaper
2) open some programms with bright background like nautilus or libreoffice to get a better effect on the dash
3) open the dash
It doesnt work with all dark wallpapers i
The color in the launcher is permanent and it feels like its coloring parts that were not supposed to be colored solid. It looks much like https:/
It looks great on most wallpapers but really weird on mine. So I think to solve this issue the effect should be made optional and be added to the system settings if it is not a bug.
