Title:
  unity panel opacity is affected by Background Color opacity

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the past the Background Color opacity setting only affected the Dash as both the panel & launcher have their own opacity settings.
  Now the Background color opacity does alter the panel's opacity & actually is the only way to get a fully transparent panel.
  To see:
  Lower the panel opacity to 0.0000, panel does not go transparent
  Now set a very low value for Background Color opacity (1-3 will do
  Panel will now go transparent.
  Raise the Background Color opacity from the above low value & the panel will become darker (more opaque

  This also affects using no blur with a high Background Color opacity
  for readability & having a panel that's not opaque
