Re: [Bug 1317098] Re: Menu transparency behaves strangely
"The new-style menu does look nicer, though."
sure, not only the shape looks good but it also allows to better integrate
widgets inside menus/dialogs, and menus/dialogs with the docks/desklets.
which is why I don't think we should disable it by any means, but rather
try to figure out where the bug lies (GTK, Openbox, CD ?)
since we don't have this bug, you're the only one that can give more clues
:-)
I think trying to compile the dock with another versio of GTK (3.8) or
using another WM could help.
Also, if you use the system style rather than a custom style, do you still
have the bug ?
"the transparency follows the highlight on the menu"
but the items stay transparent after the mouse leave them, right ?
I could imagine a problem with the css style making items transparent when
hovered, but not this behaviour.
"If I understand correctly, here the theme is 'Adwaita' but it's not
installed"
I didn't understand the same thing; it seems the GTK theme is adwaita (it's
the default gnome3 theme, I don't think there is a package for it)
there is also a theme-engine named adwaita (and used by the adwaita theme,
so it's probably installed, see in
/usr/lib/*/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines) and unico is another theme-engine
(installed in the same folder). do you have them ?
the adwaita theme uses the adwaita engine, but any theme can use any engine
(it's specified in the main css file).
however, it seems here that using another gtk theme (and engine?) doesn't
matter...
so we're back in the GTK/openbox options.

2. AFAICT, the menus use the default fill, and there's no way through
