Revision history for this message
Doug McMahon (mc3man) wrote : Dash is way too transparent, unsuitable for light & monochrome desktops

The new default and currently non configurable dash transparency can become virtually unreadable depending on desktop background and or window(s) open
Additionally the idea of 'coloring' the dash based on the desktop doesn't seem to be well thought thru either
An option to either adjust the transparency or better yet use previous smoked glass effect seems to be needed if it's intended to continue using the current trans and color based on desktop
Attached is a screen using one of the default provided desktop backgrounds and having the dash open over a nautilus window
