Recently updated to Ubuntu 20.04 and then discovered that I can change the background of the gnome-panel (I'm a gnome guy and using flashback to have the old gnome2 stuff running, thus gnome-panel). Looks great however on one of my machines (desktop) some of the indicators are opaque while the rest of the panel is transparent.
However, on my laptop (also running Ubuntu 20.04) even this is transparent. So I'm trying to "fix" my desktop as I prefer the transparent look.
From what I can tell these are indicator apps like:
- indicator-application-service
- indicator-bluetooth-service
- indicator-session-service
- indicator-sound-service
It seems the indicator-application-service is the wrapper for the opaque part (indicator-session-service and indicator-sound-service are contained therein). So one question I have is why does indictor-application-service pay attention to the transparent background I set for the whole gnome-panel on one system but not my laptop?
Additionally, it would seem there should be some way of configuring what indicator apps run and which do not. For example, I don't want nor need the bluetooth-service on my desktop - it's so old that I don't think it even has support for bluetooth! Plus I've found and killed some of these indicator apps for print notification and the like - things I just don't use. But how would I configure these indicator apps to say "X, Y and Z run here but not A, B nor C" at startup?
TIA
