16.04 Beta2 Testing feedback

[Franklin Weng]

Hi,


I'm now trying customizing Kununtu 16.04.

I have a question:  I set the activity template to org.kde.plasma.folder,
and when I add any widget on the desktop it would become like this:

Any way to add the widget without the white background?


Thanks,
Franklin
