Hi Anne,
panel is transparent when desktop effects are enabled (4.2. on F10).
I do have desktop effects enabled. I wonder if there is a specific one that
controls this?
I like
it how does it look but my friend sent me Vista screenshot - with subject
"Vista copy" and it really looks like copy of Vista's panel...
Hehehe - I neither know nor care what Vista's panel looks like. If it's
right
for me, that's all I care about :-)
