Hi Wikus,

It is possible! This is how:

- - Install compizconfig-settings-manager or
- - Launch it if you have it :)
- - Scroll down to the Desktop category
- - Select Ubuntu Unity Panel
- - Click on the Experimental Tab
- - Change the background color name to #313131 and the opacity to 255.

Enjoy!

All the best,

Bruce
