Comment 6 for bug 1163906

Thank you for the bug report and thanks for all the comments, everyone. As timoei said, Wingpanel in Freya adaptively changes the background based on the current wallpaper, so supporting this usecase is not something that makes sense to us at this time. If you're particularly interested in customizing the appearance of wingpanel, you are more than welcome to fork it and tweak to your heart's content :-)
