Hi.
in my opinion solid colour panels look really, really awful. but I
agree that maybe on mobile devices too dark colours may be bad, but
again - bright are bad for old CRT screens, especially with
refreshment 85Hz and lower. Maybe it whould be sth like oldschool
windows grayness, but aesthetically shaded, instead of that ugly
solidness? but still I think it's more of an art-design, that
technical matter.
and about multi-panel idea - I always make lower panel just launcher
for stuff, so it may be auto-hiding and big (for easier tracking of
icons on netbooks), sth like a very simple dock-launcher?


I always auto-hide the panel anyway so I’m not really bother about it’s
looks as such.
Setting it to Solid colour (with Opacity) impressed a couple of people
though.

for me a solid colour associates with ascetic ultra-simple
primitivness. especially when it's gray. but well, that's a matter of
taste. I just love eyecandies, and I belive most people do - the
question is, where is the limit of a good taste.

;)

I don’t know where the limit is but, I rather liked the pink wallpaper in the karmic version :)
