Panel color should be gray

[tinny]

I'm getting a early start on this issue. I think the Panel color should be gray. The dark green/black color assumes a dark background, which I probably will never choose. It's one thing to have a dark Panel that's easy on the eyes, but it's quite another when Panel is so dark as to be illegible. Moreover, a dark Panel looks incongruously ugly on a lighter background. The standard edition of Mint Daryna (Gnome) has a gray background, and I think Xfce should too. If you get eye strain from looking at a computer screen, maybe you could dim the monitor, or turn off your computer occasionally and get some rest.

I agree with you...

On final release, I will change it for sure...

This is weird a some people seem to have problems with the panel while others love it.
I actually like the default but I have made one that is lighter green and a blue one.
I could make another with a grey panel if you like, but I wouldn't know what to name it.
Probably MurrinaGreen-GreyPanel or something similar.

Looks like I need to add the newer ones with the tooltips fix.

That it is nice

You can make a pool to know what is the comnunity favorite to be de default, and than the users can even choose them after install.

Keep going

I'm glad there is already talk of changing the theme for the final release, because the first thing that struck me using the beta was how much I hated the default theme. The dark green glossy look is just nasty.

I happen to think that Xubuntu is the prettiest *buntu by far, so we have a lot to live up with our version. It needs to be at least as good. In fact, please ensure the Xubuntu theme is available amongst the additional themes.
