It makes sense that's what some people would prefer. Unity was designed that way.
My gut feeling though is that it would look nicer with the always-black panel. Gnome chose that and stuck to it for years for good reason. Doing so would have the added benefit of never having the weird overlap of the grey panel's left end above the launcher. Instead it would blend into the screen bezel more seamlessly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717023 Title: Jarring double gradient when window is maximized Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 light-themes: Installed: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 16.10+17.10.20170817-0ubuntu1 Since windows no longer merge with the top panel when maximized in 17.10, a jarring double gradient is produced instead.
