I am seeing the same issue on Xubuntu 11.10. It has the same version of xfce4-diskperf-plugin (2.3.0-2). The plugin display area is always grey, its background color, even though the tooltip shows that IO is actually taking place. The colors set in the plugin configuration don't have any affect.
However, unlike @Carsten, I can right click the applet in the panel just fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990839 Title: xfce4 diskperf colors are nearly equal to panel color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-diskperf-plugin/+bug/990839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
