Dock opacity/colour is different to the Gnome Shell top bar opacity/colour

[Daniel van Vugt]

Starting in Gnome Shell 3.25/3.26, the top bar is semi-transparent most of the time. It's a similar transparency to the dock, but different. I think they should be the same. See the screenshot attached.

I heard a rumor that the transparent top bar was going to be reverted for GNOME 3.26.

I wouldn't be surprised if either Ubuntu or upstream reverted it. Seems like an experiment which breaks the nice visual consistency that Gnome Shell's had for years.

That said, the dock seems to be using Adwaita's grey rather than Ambiance grey. So probably will need changing regardless -> bug 1690966
