[Bug 967039] Re: Automatic launcher color is ugly - contrasts with the wallpaper too much

 

I cannot reproduce this on the latest version of Ubuntu (15.10). Using a
mostly black wallpaper and Unity changes its colour to a dark blue/black
that looks just fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We have tried to
recreate this on the latest release of Ubuntu and cannot reproduce it.
This bug is being marked as Invalid. If you believe the problem to still
exist in the latest version of Ubuntu please comment on why that is the
case and change the bug status to NEW.

Bug description:
  After i logged into Unity I experienced a really disturbing recolor of
  the Launcher and the Dash. I currently have a very dark Wallpaper on
  my Desktop and the color that Unity chooses for the Launcher and Dash
  does not seem to look right.

  reproduce this with:

  1) choose a rather dark wallpaper
  2) open some programms with bright background like nautilus or libreoffice to get a better effect on the dash
  3) open the dash

  It doesnt work with all dark wallpapers i

  The color in the launcher is permanent and it feels like its coloring
  parts that were not supposed to be colored solid. It looks much like
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/824886 but I submitted a new one
  because the old bug was allready fixed in 2011.

  It looks great on most wallpapers but really weird on mine. So I think
  to solve this issue the effect should be made optional and be added to
  the system settings if it is not a bug.
