How to make panel transparent?

[proxima_centauri]

Hi!

I installed Linux Mint 201204 "Debian"

How can I make the taskbar completly transparent. I tried to put it transparent but it only do a part of it because of the applets.

Thank you

Moved here temporarily - we need to know which DE it is

Linux Mint 201204 "Debian"
LMDE 2012

It comes with a choice of DEs
MATE
Cinnamon
Xfce

Sorry MATE

Found the right home for it now

I believe it depends on the theme you use. IIRC, the Shiki themes let the whole panel become transparent. At least the Shiki-Wise theme when used with Gnome 2 did. Should be the same for MATE. Try a few and see.

How or where to get the sliki theme?

They're in the repos, can be installed using Synaptic.

Hi!

Still does not work, is there anything to activate in the CompizConfig?

Thank you

Hmmm, not sure on that one. I haven't used Compiz for quite a while. Sorry, that's all I have.

I manage to make it work but not with shiki theme.

Thank you

Glad to hear. My memory isn't what it used to be

My solution would have been:
Right click panel -> Properties -> in Panel Properties choose Background tab -> choose Solid Colour -> Style to left (Transparent)
