Hello!

Thanks for the tutorial. How does one get the icons in the notification area to correspond to the color of the taskbar?

Hey N4RPS, thanks for liking my first tutorial! I've noticed that if you change your theme to one that is a different color than the original, the icons in the notification tray can look out of place. For example, this is what happens when I change Appearance from MediterraneanWhite to MediterraneanDark:



Usually, what I would do is simply log-out and log back in for the theme to take effect, but some themes won't cooperate. I don't know exactly how to fix this problem, sadly. However, when I change my theme to MediterraneanDark, I noticed that if I change to MediterraneanDarkest instead, I get the same color scheme but the notification tray icons blend nicely without a restart (as shown below).



For some people who have a theme series installed, this would be a quick and easy fix, but I do understand that there are certain themes that do not come in a series, or the user prefers the original to the others in a series. I'll look further into this problem when I have some spare time. Hope I can solve this for you!

Hi ninja,
Have you tried using solid color for your panel background?
Another option is to make a small image in GIMP and use that as a background.
