Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus



But menus shouldn't be covering the entire screen anyway, unlike the launcher.

I love this idea so I did some mockups:

Desktop
Dash
Window Theme
Indicator Menu

I recommend downloading the attachments and viewing them fullscreen to get a real idea.

Your mockups are really good work, perhaps you want to include them into https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana/MeMenu%20Mockups

on the point of opacity i still see the problem as less one of taste and more one of interaction.. a transparent menu allows you to maintain your awareness of things happening on your desktop, even while the menu is open above content. An opaque menu doesn't allow that, it thereby steals your visual focus for the moment of interaction, and the price of having a "better background" is much higher than the value or duration of the interaction: focus is lost.
