Aqua Taskbar

Post by tawan »

for an aqua and slightly transparent task bar...

Width unimportant as it tiles, so could be made less wide. Height is 24px.

Image

save this image somewhere
right click your taskbar
click properties
click background
click background image
locate the saved image

you now have an aqua taskbar and as it is slightly transparent it will show some of your desktop through it (depending on the desktop image, some show more than others)

:)

this is a clear (none blue) one

It looks a little gray here but less so when used.

they look a bit funny with some themes and setups.

this is a striped and transparent one - you need to see it over a desktop (not here) to see how it will look as the transparency does nothing good here in the forum.

again, looks a bit funny with some themes and setups.

hi, did you try the 3rd one? It looks bad here but when you place it over a colored and detailed desktop it looks nice. I'm using it now.

glad you like it :)

Yes, all of them are great! Now I'm using the second one, it matches my current theme better.
It is a nice idea to have alternatives for the panel! Good work!

It's harder to add these to the panel.
You have to edit the gtk file to make it work.
I'll try this later today and see if I can remember how to do this.

@ ossified65

This might help.

@everyone:

I vote for one of Phonicboom's panels to be included in the official Felicia's release(the green one probably). 8)
