Isn’t there a better way to deal with this? I think the bugs could probably be fixed semi-easily by someone who knows how to (I don’t know how to fix bugs). IMHO, the top panel shadow does add to the desktop experience. It adds dimension to the desktop and panel. I think it looks really flat, like

Re: [Unity-design] dropping the top panel shadow

I dont like this idea. The shadow indicates whether the panel currently is a part of a the window we see or not. And the GTK theming is necessary because the panel sometimes is the part of a window. It would just look odd with a dash-like theming. 2012/6/3 Thorsten Wilms > On 06/03/2012 09:45 AM
