The thing Brandon is - how much time do you browse through indicator/menus?
If you are browsing over a 50% through them whilst you are on your
PC/laptop/netbook than having a full opaque panel would make sense. However
I find it hard to believe someone browses THAT much time through them :) If
you are browsing less than 50% through them that it is logical that having
one and the same looking (both transparent and chameleonic) launcher and
panel would bring more consistency to the desktop :)
Ryan, in my opinion the panel shadow should be constant no matter the panel
transparency (it looks aful when you have panle without shadow, transparent
or not) and I believe we all agree that the shadow should be a proper Nux
drawn open GL shadow, not the hack it is now :)
