How do I make the top panel transparent in Unity?
- by neildeadman
I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 using Unity.
I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and whilst researching various how-to's, I have seen screenshots where Ubuntu has the bar at the top of the screen shown transparent. I really like this, but I can't get it to do it on my box.
I have tried CCSM (2 different methods), Ambience theme editing (a copy) but it always shows as black.
I log out after each change and then log back in. Should I be restarting?
I'm running:
Asus P5Q Pro
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz x4
GeForce 9600GT
32-bit OS
4x 1GB DDR2 RAM Modules (although BIOS only shows I'm using ~3GB)
