Hi, I have noticed that all issues in this bug report seem to be resolved now (in Ubuntu 7.10 tribe 5).
This is after updating last night to deskbar-applet 2.19.91-0ubuntu1 (version found using 'dpkg -l deskbar-applet', thanks bmurray and BugSquad's FAQ for showing how). Things specifically solved: * Changes in background color now take effect immediately. No need to log out/log in or reload the applet for the change to happen. * Changing theme to Glider, deskbar uses new panel's background color. * Using other themes also works (tried Glider, Human, Clearlooks, Glossy and (ugh!) Inverse high contrast). * Background for the history drop-down also uses the current theme color. Another thing solved (it isn't in this bug, but I was looking for this when found this bug and could be possibly related): * Icon now seems to have a transparent background, good (not in tribe 4 and tribe 5 before the update to deskbar-applet 2.19.91-0ubuntu1). If someone can try the above things and get the same results, maybe this bug could be closed now. -- does not use new theme background until relogin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
