Change gnome-panel secondary color?

Hi,
On the attached picture of my desktop you can see that I have some transparency enabled on the panel.  But there are still some solid white lines on miscellaneous things like around the workspace switcher, the cpu monitor, and some other random things.  Is it possible to change these colors or tone down the transparency?  I've always wondered this for a while, and just thought I'd ask.  Thanks.

It's hard to tell because the screenshot is small but I believe what you are describing is controlled by the gtk theme -> handles and the workspace switcher. I'm don't think any gtk theme can set these as partially transparent.

  • Gnome panel text color

    Hello.
    Can anybody help me change the color of the panel text only in gnome? I used to use an application called gnome-color-chooser which appears in AUR but when trying "makepkg" it apparently points to a broken link. I have been looking for the source elsewhere but apparently this little application was removed from gnomelook.org and nowhere to be found except other distro packages or repositories.
    I know there is a setting somewhere to do this but ive been looking for hours on Configuration Editor under the panel section but nothing seems to work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try following these instructions :

  • [HOWTO] Change GNOME 3 panels

    I am used to have the clock at hte upper right corner. Moreover, I don't find the user menu useful, so I wanted to remove it and place the clock to the right instead.
    Here is how to do it:
    Open dconf-editor (note that gconf-editor does not work)
    Browse to org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout and edit the object-id-list removing 'user-menu' from the list.
    The user menu should disappear immediatly (else you might need a session restart)
    For moving the clock, go to org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout.objects.clock and change pack-type from center to end.
    The change does not happen automatically, you need at least to remove it from org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout object-id-list and
    readd it to see the effect.

    It only appears in fallback. When i was using fallback, however, I wasn't able to get the alt+right-click menu to appear while Compiz was running.

  • Gnome panel 3.2 - I am not able to see clock and date well

    Hello all,
    I am using Gnome in fallback -mode. I upgraded my gnome-panel to version 3.2 and after upgrading I am not able to see date and time information well. This information have shown a dark grey color, which is very difficult to see because background is black. If I put my mouse cursor on the time panel I am able to see infromation because background changes from black to white (timebox get activated). Is there any way to change font/foreground colour from grey to white? It is very irritating put mouse cursor on the date everytime when I want to see time.  I tried to downgrade panel back to 3.0 version, but after that I wasn't able to see panel at the all.
    -Br, Marko

  • Secondary color correction not working in Premiere CC

    Greetings,
    I'm unable to build secondary color correction masks in Three Way Color Corrector, RGB Curves etc in the current version of Premiere CC.
    In any of these plugins, when I check "show mask" I get the usual white slate filling the frame. But when I use the color picker to make a selection the whole frame stays white. It appears that I'm making selections but it's not building the mask for some reason. When making an extreme color change I can see that the mask is not building as it affects the whole frame.
    This started after upgrading to CC. I've recently updated to the most up to date version (yesterday) and am still having the same problem.

    *note-my Colleague is not having this problem, he's working on the same OS and same CC build but he has an Imac. So I'm guessing this problem is unique to my hardware config.
    Anybody else have this problem or know of a fix?

    I have the same Problem new MAC OS Premier Pro CC or Premier Pro CS6 both have an issue with the Title Tool. If you open the title tool and try to make color changes or change size of the font it sticks at the default color and default font. SOmetimes the title tool will work and then when I exit it's back to the default first type location, default font and default color. Sometimes it will not even let me exit the Title Tool.

  • Multiple Secondary Color Correction Possible?

    I'm having a strange problem trying to use the secondary color correction inside the 3 way color corrector. It seems to work ok for the 1st filter, but if I try to use it for a a second or more instance of the filter, it seems to behave strangely or not at all.
    I can select a color using the eyedropper, and sometimes it will show up in the color swatch, sometimes not.
    If I chose to show the 'mask' of the results, it will usually show the clip as white in the program monitor, so I can't see where I'm masking.
    I have a feeling that this might have to do with multiple masks interacting with the secondary color correction, and they somehow counteract each other. It doesn't seem very intuitive about how to fix it though.
    I'm also noticing pretty intense banding with the 3 way, I know I can smooth it with the other controls in the color corrector, but I'm also wondering if this might have to do with some secret sequence or screen preview setting that I may have read about before.
    Thanks for any advice.

    The mask should change from white to composite image when you select the left-hand eyedropper.  Is this not happening?

    I now have the pallete on the right side of my screen. But, I am unable to change the color of the brush. I move the eye dropper over red and click on it. A panel comes saying 'Pure Red', I click ok but the brush color does not change.

  • Change The Swing Application Color

    I Have an Application with several screens. There is an option for the user to change the background color for all screens.
    But in my case the change will only occur when the application is executed again. (I store the color in a text file and reads it at run time - and change the backgounds of panels accordingly)
    Cant I also make the change at that time. The thing is this change should occur for all screens of the application.
    Please let me know if anybody have an idea on this ....
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED] update removed menu items in lxpanel menu & in gnome-panel

    when i start gnome-panel, the 'applications' drop down is empty, and 'system' no longer contains the 'administration' and 'preferences' items.
    in lxpanel, the menu only shows 'run' and 'logout'.
    i wanted to see if alacarte still showed things, so i ran alacarte from a terminal (which normally works)...
    [chris: ~]$ alacarte
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
    main()
    File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
    app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
    self.__loadMenus()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 60, in __loadMenus
    self.settings.dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(self.settings.path)

    return expatbuilder.parse(file)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 924, in parse
    result = builder.parseFile(fp)

    parser.Parse("", True)
    xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
    naturally, starting alacarte by right clicking on gnome-menu -> edit menus also does nothing.
    i looked at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py with cat, and there is nothing super-obviously wrong with the script.
    also:
    [chris: ~]$ ls /usr/share/applications
    abiword.desktop
    alacarte.desktop
    aldm-gui.desktop
    assistant.desktop
    at-properties.desktop
    avahi-discover.desktop
    banshee-1-audiocd.desktop
    banshee-1.desktop
    banshee-1-media-player.desktop
    baobab.desktop
    *and so on*
    so those didn't vanish.
    any ideas?

    so i saw this error message....
    ** (gnome-panel:4408): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from "/home/chris/.config/menus/settings.menu": Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace
    the file was empty. and what do we do with broken config files in ~? why, we hide them, of course!
    [chris: ~/.config/menus]$ mv settings.menu settings.menubackup
    now gnome-panel works, but alacarte (menu editor) and lxpanel's menu is still busted.
    now that i am getting somewhere, im gonna keep posting as i trace this down so others that may come across this same issue can benefit.
    edit: renamed ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu to .menubackup and restarted lxpanel, it works now.
    edit2:
    alacarte is giving me this...
    IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chris/.config/menus/applications.menu'
    and sure enough, pcmanfm told me that the file belonged to root.
    sudo pcmanfm, navigated to that file, right click -> properties -> permissions -> changed owner to chris and group to users.
    alacarte works now, too.
    i think im going to go through and recursively make everything in each ~ folder belong to the username it should just in case permissions got jumbled somewhere/anywhere else.
    just so i know: did this happen to anyone else that updated within the last 24 hours or so?
    (so i can learn if it was something *I* did, or if it was something that came with the *update*)

  • Gnome Panel applet that shows output of system command.

    Hi all;
    Because of the recent hostile takeover of #archlinux channel by tilling WM fanatics..    I will ask here..
    Does any one know of a Gnome Panel applet that shows the output of system command of your choice?
    For people who Conky is a bit too much and they only want a simple piece of data available (like what is the current IP on ppp0 interface) like me..  this is a necessity.
    If its not in existence I would probably make one.. shouldn't take long, I also would like to hear if there is any interest.
    Thanks

    That's exactly what I was looking for!  Thank you!
    Changed code to:
    $dism = "X:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe /c start CMD /k dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
    And voila, new window opened with the live output of dism.
    new... and have a glazed over look about my eyes to prove it...

  • [solved] nm-applet does not show up in Gnome panel

    Hi all,
    I installed networkmanager, network-manager-applet and dbus this afternoon. As well as a fresh install of Gnome. This is all done on my laptop, which my wife wants to use now and then. I always set up the network CLI, but now I will need a nice flashy applet in the Gnome panel.
    I managed to run the network-connection-editor as root, and got the network up.
    I had some dbus problems when I tried launching nm-applet, but fixed it with a dbus-hack I found in some other thread. But when I now launch nm-applet, it says that there allready is an instance running of nm-applet.
    I guess it should show up in the panel, if it is. But I don't see anything there... Do you have any ideas of what I forgot to install/configure/check.
    Thanks,
    jocom

    There have been a couple similar posts recently. I'm not using Gnome anymore or networkmanager, so I don't know if there's a problem with it or not. If I remember correctly I had to install gnome-panel-bonobo, and I believe python-notify and gksu too. You can do a search on the wiki for networkmanager, there is a page for it that explains the configuration changes you'll need to make. Hope it helps.

  • Secondary Color Correction not working properly!

    Hi,
    when i apply RGB Curves and Three Way Color Correction (or any other color grading effect) and try to use the secondary color correction to limit my changes just to the skin tone for exemple, the effect don't respect the secondary sample and apply the effect to the entire clip. Most of the times i do a color grading and then  work on my skin tones separately, but i'm not able to in PR.
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014.1! I had the same problem with PP CC 2014 and the weird thing is that at my work this works normally.
    First photo with the selection made, second photo showing the effect not respecting the mask.

    It seems to be working here. Try toggling "Show Mask"

  • Change Gnome Menu Icon [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I have been able to change the main menu icon in Gnome in several other distributions running gnome 2.22 (Fedora, Debian, etc) and had no issues. The method I have always used is copy the custom icon to /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png. I have not been successful with this in Arch. I also tried copying to the 22x22 directory and also using the GConf method (apps > panels > objects > Use_Custom_Icon...). No luck so far. I'm totally up to date with all my stuff (gnome 2.22.2), so if anyone knows a good method, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Here's how I did it...
    Assuming you're using Gnome's default icon theme:
    1. Replace /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png with your icon of choice.
    2. If the theme's icon cache was previously generated (/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache), you can either re-generate it using the following command
         # gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome
    or you can just delete it (the cache is supposed to speed up GTK apps' access to the icons).
    3. Restart X or # killall gnome-panel to see the change.
    That's what I had to do too, but it feels like the wrong way. It should be possible to change it through the configuration editor. A bug perhaps?
    Edit: Replacing the icon file was not possible with the default icon theme. However, it works on other themes.
