Transparant Ubuntu Gnome panel

(large Gnome panel height)

(vertical Gnome panel)

Type this in a terminal:

gksu nautilus /usr/share/themes

This will open Nautilus with admin privileges so you can edit the theme files. Then double click on the folder for theme you want to fix (Ambiance or Radiance) and open the "gtkrc" file inside the gtkrc-2.0 folder.

Then search for the first line starting with:

bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "somename"

And comment it (put a "#" in front of the line - without the quotes), then save the file. Then log out and log back in.

Here is how a transparent background will now look:

If you still want to use a background for an horizontal panel and you panel is not larger than 30 pixels, Ambiance comes with an alternate panel background you can use. Right click a panel, select "Properties", on the "Background" tab select "Background image", then browse for /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/panel_bg_30.png and set this as your panel background. Unfortunately if you want a panel larger than 30px, you cant use this image. But you can edit the image using GIMP.

Ubuntu Oneiric GUI Options Gnome Shell Gnome Fallback and XFCE

Ubuntu Oneiric ships with Unity 3D and Unity 2D by default. For those who don't have any love for Unity but they still love Ubuntu, they have got a few more options.

Gnome Shell

Aside from all the controversies, you should give it a try at least. They call it as an innovation and the future of desktop computing, lets see.

Installing Gnome Shell in older Ubuntu versions like Natty and Lucid always led to problems as Gnome Shell is based on Gnome 3 and GTK+ 3, whereas the older Ubuntu versions are based on Gnome 2 and GTK+ 2. But with Oneiric now being based on Gnome 3, Gnome Shell runs smooth. It is in the official repositories, so either search the Software Center for 'Gnome Shell' or get to a Terminal and run:

Luckily installation simple.
