[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 403135] Re: Notification area icon wrongly rendered/uses bg_color as a background (multiple apps)

[martincasc]

Well I can confirm that... I've tracking the bug of LVC and Banshee on
it's own web developers.

Some of the application mention here, are not supported by Canonical, so
fix this bugs it's must be done by apps developers.

If you track Banshee, You'll find that this bug it's reported since
2009. The reporter use Mandriva! And till now, is not fixes. I don't
remember the URL, but the list of them it's in the top of this page.

On VLC the answer it's simple, it's wont be fix.. There is a problem
with the alpha channel and can be fixed for now. Maybe latter (x day)
they found a way for solve this.

Now, maybe banshee will be include in Ubuntu Netbook, if that happen,
maybe our developers will help to improve the fix...

I thought the same that you JeromQc, but i found that the bug must be
fix by the app developers. In the case I found, Banshee and VLC
developers

Bug description:
The following bug may possibly depend on my setup, if so just tell me how to check this. I am using banshee 1.4.3-5 (in ubuntu karmic) and its notification area icon has a black background, unlike other applets that have a transparent background.

I attach a screenshot.

This bug is noticed when:
a) Themes set a background image in the gtkrc
b) If users set a custom image for the panel from Panel Properties > Background > Background Image

***This bug affects all themes , but has become easier to notice since the default light-themes use a background image.***

Also , see , comment #99 , might be a regression in gnome-panel since Karmic release.
