Dock opacity changes when running certain applications.

[Frogs Hair]

Ubuntu Artful 17.10

gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock v 0.5

I see opacity changes when using Thunderbird Mail and Conky. The dock changes from dark gray semi transparent to almost black when the applications are used/opened.

Disregard report color change was due to application proximity to the dock and window type used in the .conkyrc

Do you mean the bug is now invalid?

It sounds like your screen is set to very dim and by "almost black" you mean Ubuntu-grey. Yes, it should change colour that way with proximity. This is a design decision inherited from upstream Gnome 3.26 and not something that Ubuntu chose.

"Do you mean the bug is now invalid?"

Yes, I found out this was a feature and the conky problem can be addressed by a simple syntax change.
