Here's a screenshot, interesting enough, as I tried to edit the preferences to uncheck the autohide, well, the picture speaks for itself, the menu was all messed up. The screenshot menu had the same problems, i had to disable the desktop effects to actually be able to save the screenshot.
I don't think a mockup for a fix is needed, I think the shadow effect should be simply disabled for panels that are transparent. ** Attachment added: "screenshot of problem(s)" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6612506/Screenshot.png -- desktop effects in feisty: shadow on transparent panels looks bad https://launchpad.net/bugs/89769 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
