Bug Description

I have some light backgrounds that when I apply them wingpanel increases alpha color.

The problem is that wingpanel doesn't really need to increase alpha as the wingpanel items are totally visible.
I disabled "auto-adjust-alpha" and reduced "background-alpha" to 0 but when a window is maximized the wingpanel doesn't change alpha to 1 which is a little bit ugly and distracting. As a user that doesn't like the wingpanel without full transparency this prevents me of using any light wallpaper.

I suggest to change the alpha algorithm sensitivity or when auto-adjust-alpha is disabled, full screen auto adjustment should not get influenced. Also it could be nice if users could change the auto adjust alpha from settings.

I've uploaded an example and included background.
