There seems to be far more activity on the bug tracker for Compiz than for the CompizConfig Settings Manager, so we might have more luck over there.
I opened a similar bug for Compiz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1929249 Please feel free to add to or correct any info I posted there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to compizconfig-settings-manager in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779661 Title: Option to change Application Switcher color/opacity is broken Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in compizconfig-settings-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to Re-create: # Open compizconfig-settings-manager # Enable Application switcher plugin # In the plugin settings go to the general tab # In the Background section check 'Set background color' # and below that specify the desired background color and opacity Expected: Should change background color and opacity of the application switcher Actual: There's absolutely no change, even after restarting compiz IMO this is a big issue, because the defaults for the application switcher are horrible - it has a highly transparent background by default making window titles hard to read, and because this setting is broken it's impossible to change it This also happens with the equivalent setting in the Static Application switcher plugin as well IMO in addition to fixing this, the default should really be changed well to have a more opaque background for the switchers... this is an accessibility issue. Take a look at the attached screenshot, this looks horrible and the titles are hard to read ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: compiz 1:0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-23.25-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Mon Jul 2 07:36:48 2018 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 [8086:5916] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell HD Graphics 620 [1028:075b] InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-07-01 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:568b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
