Lovelock wallpaper is nice, but ...

[Martin Kho]

Hi,

When I enable desktop effects (nouveau/openGL) by default the panel gets 
transparent. Really nice, but this in combination with the Lovelock wallpaper 
makes the date e.g. very hard to read. Especially the bottom of the paper is 
rather dark.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

If I am not mistaken... the transparency comes from settings/workspace 
appearance/desktop theme/air.

Change it to oxygen or something else to get rid of transparency, or 
choose/make a wallpaper that has monochrome borders.

Hi Petrus,

Thanks for your hints! Although it wasn't exactly what I was trying come up 
with. My point is that one has to change default settings(1) (Lovelock theme 
or transparency settings) to get a usable/readable system. Not a very nice - 
first - user experience IMHO, isn't it?

box'.

Me, too. Years ago, I spent many hours to get even the minutest aspects of a 
system exactly how I wanted them, but I gradually realized that I had to do it 
all over again every 6 months with each new Fedora release, and all of that 
twice, for both a desktop and a laptop computer.

Now, my philosophy is to change as little as possible and still have _exactly_ 
what I want.
