cinnamon-transparent-panels's Introduction

Transparent panels - A Cinnamon extension

Transparentize your panels when there are no any maximized windows

Supported themes

Transparent panels supports every theme in principle, but there are some themes that may not fit well. For such cases, the authors (or users) of the theme may override the panel-transparent, panel-transparent-with-shadow and panel-semi-transparent classes in their cinnamon.css, which can be enabled in the extension preferences with the option "use current theme styles".

Installation

Cinnamon Spices

Download it from here or search for "Transparent panels" in your Cinnamon extension settings.

From source

To download the source and install it, execute the following as a normal user (you will need git).

$ git clone https://github.com/germanfr/cinnamon-transparent-panels.git
$ cd cinnamon-transparent-panels/ && ./utils.sh install

The above will download the source from Github and it will be copied to your ~/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions/ folder. If you don't have git installed, you can download a zip from here, extract it and run $ ./utils.sh install.

Changelog

See the list of changes on Github: https://github.com/germanfr/cinnamon-transparent-panels/commits/master

Issues

If you find any bug you can file an issue in the Github project page: https://github.com/germanfr/cinnamon-transparent-panels/issues

Make sure you have an updated version of Cinnamon and try to explain the more detailed you can what the problem is (don't just say "it doesn't work" because that doesn't help at all).

Please, do not post issues in the comments of the Cinnamon Spices website because it doesn't have a notification system and I rarely see it.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, also in form of translations. Please, submit pull requests to the repository not the spices repository, which is only a distribution channel (not even a mirror). What is in there is automatically generated and overwritten.

FAQ

1) Is it possible to keep transparency always?

Yes, but you don't need this extension to do that. You can remove the background of your panels in the theme's cinnamon.css, and it will probably work better.

2) System warns this extension isn't compatible with the current version of Cinnamon.

Load it anyways. I have to update the list of compatible versions each time a new version is released, so I may have missed it but probably it still works. If it doesn't, please file an issue.

3) It doesn't work!

First, make sure you have the latest version of Cinnamon (or at least not a prehistoric one). I do not mantain backwards compatibility for too long, but I mark some points in time when the extension worked for that version. If you have an old version, find here a release that is compatible with your version of Cinnamon and install it manually. If it still doesn't work or you already had an updated version, please file an issue.

cinnamon-transparent-panels's Issues

No JS module 'extensions' found in search path

I'm getting the following error when trying to start the extension on Cinnamon 3.4.6 and Ubuntu 17.10.

error t=2018-03-07T18:39:49Z No JS module 'extensions' found in search path
error t=2018-03-07T18:39:49Z [Extension "transparent-panels@germanfr"]: Error importing extension.js from transparent-panels@germanfr
error t=2018-03-07T18:39:49Z Could not load extension transparent-panels@germanfr

Can I maintain the extension on the cinnamon-spices-extensions repository?

I believe you wrote somewhere (maybe in another issue) that you are not currently using Cinnamon (please correct me if I'm wrong), so this extension is unmaintained right now. If that's the case, and there isn't anyone already maintaining the extension, I am available to continue with the development of this extension on the linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-extensions repository, I plan to do a bit of refactoring and fixes and add some features in my free time. As of my experience, I've been contributing to some of the Linux Mint projects and I'm also the "author" and the maintainer of the cinnamon applets Cinnamon Eyes based on the gnome eye extension.

Panel not getting transparent after showing desktop

 * Cinnamon version: Cinnamon 4.0.9
 * Attach log:       (/home/<username>/.xsession-errors) it doesn't exists (at least here)

After pressing super + D (show desktop shortcut) the panel doesn't get transparent, only if I click on it and it doesn't work every time. The problem seems to happen on the first shutdown after installing the extension.

To reproduce it just have a maximized window and press super + D.

I believe the problem is that the extension doesn't understand the super + D as minimizing all windows or the shortcut just brings the desktop up.

Panel is not transparent in Cinnamon 5.4.9

 * Extension version: (click info in extension settings) 
 * Cinnamon version: (cinnamon --version) 5.4.9
 * Attach log:       (/home/<username>/.xsession-errors)

Describe the bug
After upgrading to CInnamon 5.4.9, the transparency panel is not able to convert the panel as transparent.

Describe the bug
I recently updated to Cinnamon 4.3.0. I am aware that as of this date of this bug report that Cinnamon 4.3.0 is not yet considered stable, but I thought that now would be a good time to let you know that your extension does not appear to work with it so that you can work on compatibility prior to the stable release. Here is the error message that I get.

Extension transparent-panels@germanfr is not compatible with current version of cinnamon. Using it may break your system. Load anyway?

Feature request: Settings for each panel separately

Can you add a feature, which lets you set transparency for each panel (top/bottom/left/right) separately?

E.g. I want top panel full-transparent and bottom panel semi-transparent.

Issue
Can not set panel to fully transparent after installing the extension

Steps to reproduce

Other information

An entry for the FAQ: why want one's panels [_all_ of them, yes?] to be transparent only when no window is maximized?

I propose an entry for the FAQ list - that is, for the list here and here.

The question part of the entry would read, 'Why use this extension?' or 'why want one's panels to be transparent only when no window is maximized?'

I do not know the answer that the FAQ should give . . (I am not saying that there is no good answer.)

It would be good too were the FAQ to make it plain whether the transparency gets applied to all panels.

Thank you for your work.

Feature request: transparency per-panel area

 * Cinnamon version: (cinnamon --version): 4.0.8
 * Attach log:       (/home/<username>/.xsession-errors): not relevant for this request.

Issue

Using your wonderful extension - which I think should be incorporated into Cinnamon - I see the following on my system, when there is a maximised window. (The picture below is a partial screenshot. Please attend to the bottom of the image.)

Now, that appearance is by (your) design. However, it would be really good were we able to make the right and left side of the panel transparent - but not the centre - even when there is a maximised window. That way, the panel can act as a dock, i.e. such that there is a background to the icons but not to the unoccupied parts of the panel.

Is there a way to change the transparency level of the semi-transparent mode?

I would like just a small hint of opacity, but the semi-transparent mode is far too much. Is there a way to specify the opacity level? Ideally I think I'd like somewhere around 5% to 20% opacity.

In future versions it would be great if there were more choices, maybe a percentage range of 100% transparent to 5% transparent in 5% intervals, selected by a drop-down menu. Thanks for your consideration.

How to stay transparent?

Not compatible with Cinnamon 3.4

From glass.log:

error t=2017-07-04T01:32:16.009Z [Extension "transparent-panels@germanfr"]: Extension is not compatible with current Cinnamon version

Translation support

Hey,

maybe you could add translation support. I added a German translation.
It suffices to unzip the attached po directory into your extensions directory.

po.zip

If you need more info, let me know.

Opacify option seems broken

I'm using Cinnamon 3.2.

It seems, that the second setting (experimentell) makes no difference. Transparency is always removed on maximized window. No matter if switch is on or off.

No icons and texts after waking from suspend to RAM

 * OS: Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon

Describe the bug
After waking from suspend-to-RAM, the panels icons and texts are no longer visible.
Icons, open programs, etc is still there and can be interacted with.

Steps to reproduce
Install transparent panels extension, suspend to RAM, then wake up.

Other information
Restarting Cinnamon from the panels context menu restores visibility of icons and texts to normal.

[Bug] Panel Opaqueness is not automatic when enabled

The Panel Opaque Feature, when enabled, only makes the panel go black behind when Cinnamon is started with a maximised window, and isn't automatic unlike the other maximised panel portion of the extension...

This means that you either have an opaque panel on the Cinnamon Session, or a transparent one on the Cinnamon session

[Feature Request] Allow for option to make panel opaque when window is maximized

Kinda like Chrome OS's way of doing things, allow for an option to have the panel go fully opaque when a window is maximized...

'[A]re no any' is not English

 * Extension version: (click info in extension settings): the latest (I do not have the extension installed)

Describe the bug

Within the Cinnamon extensions window, and more specifically within its 'Download' pane (but also on the Spices website), you have, 'Transparentize your panels when there are no any maximized windows'. '[A]re no any' is not English. I think you mean 'are no maximized windows'. While I am at it, 'Transparentize' is ugly and arguably not English. I suggest you replace the whole sentence with this one: 'Make your panels transparent when no windows are maximised' (or spell 'maximised' as 'maximized' if you wish to use American as against English English).

Other information

This extension of yours does seem like a good idea. Thank you for creating it.

[Bug] Use Current Theme Style doesn't work unless panel transparency type is set to 'Fully Transparent'

So, basically, turns out Use Current Theme Style ONLY works when the Type of transparency is 'Fully Transparent'. Using the latest version of this extension on Spices, on Cinnamon 3.8.

Does not work

Hello,

I just updated and it does not work anymore

see the screen : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1523688692.png

thank you kindly fix the problem

Sorry, I use an online translator French / English

LM 18.3 cinnamon 3.6.7 kernel 4-15-0-13

where is the english locale?

i'm looking at the transparent-panels@germanfr/po directory, to make a new translation file, i can't find a en.pot file.
do i need to base my translation file off transparent-panels.pot ?

it would be nice to have a "template" file to know where to start .

Not updating panel transparency state unless switching workspaces

 * Extension version/Build date: Version 4.0~20181106 (2020-10-12 12:34:42)
 * Cinnamon version: Cinnamon 4.6.7
 * Distribution: Linux Mint 20 64-bit

Notify author of extension
@germanfr

Issue

Transparency is not changing when application is maximised or not. Changes in transparency only take place when I switch between workspaces.

Steps to reproduce

In workspace 1, maximise an application. The panel is not transparent as expected.
Switch to workspace 2.
Switch back to workspace 1. The panel is now solid colour.
Unmaximise the application. The panel will remain solid colour, and not become transparent as expected.
Switch to workspace 2.
Switch back to workspace 1. The panel is now transparent.

Expected behaviour

Panel should update transparency at the moment an application changes its maximisation state and not only when switching workspaces.

Other information

Here is a video showing the steps above. There are some graphical glitches in the video but this is due to the capture software used, I do not see any of these glitches when using my system.

https://streamable.com/2wewgq

Just as extra information, the extension works exactly as intended in my other computer which is running Linux Mint 18.3 (and Cinnamon version 3.6.7).

Originally reported here: linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-extensions#292

Feature Request: Panel Mode where...

...if the Panel is on a Bright background, then add shade to the panel background, and if the Panel is on a Dark background, then make the panel background invisible.
aka: Like it is in Pantheon

...and a bonus would be theming possibilities for this, like how there's already theming when set to Defined By Theme.

UUID: transparent-panels@germanfr: Panels extension in Cinnamon: hardly different colors in panel edit mode

 * Extension version: Version 4.0~20181106 (2019-12-27 09:42:37)
 * Cinnamon version: Cinnamon 4.4.8

Describe the bug
When in panel edit mode, there should be three different colors in the panel/taskbar, to represent the three different Zones: Left Zone, Centre Zone and Right Zone.

Those three different colors show where the three Zones are: where they start and end, in order to drag and drop the several items/icons in the desired Zones.

The colors are normally bright and very easy to distinguish, but when the extension Transparent Panels is on, these color are very hard to distinguish.

Solution: to edit Transparent Panels in order to show the three colors in panel edit mode, as if Transparent Panels were not loaded/on.

Support for vertically/horizontally maximized windows

Please, would it be possible to add support for vertically (horizontally) maximized windows to change top/bottom (left/right) panel transparency as well?

Currently the panel transparency is affected only by fully maximized windows. However I have noticed that in Budgie desktop environment the panel transparency is affected by partially maximized windows and it is a very eye pleasing :)

[feature request] white shadow for light mode + automatic switching

Cinnamon version: Cinnamon 5.2.7

White Shadow
When using a light desktop theme (dark icons to go on a light background), the shadow makes the icons harder to see.
A white shadow would bring the same feature, as the normal shadow, to light themes.

Automatic Switching
When switching back and forth from light and dark mode themes, automatic switching of the shadow color would heavily reduce the time needed for switching.
This is especially annoying if theme switching is a two click action with, for example, this applet, or even more so if the computer is configured to switch automatically at specific times.

Steps to reproduce
Use any light desktop theme like Mint-Y (not Mint-Y-Dark).

[Feature Request] Allow for transparency with shadow in maximized windows (overlap)

Love the Extension, i particularly like your "transparency with shadow" option.
Is it possible to have the transparent panel overlap the maximized windows? (so it's transparent to the maximized window not to the desktop).
I feel like this feature would work very well in combination with your "with shadow option", i leave attached an example of what i'm saying.
Thank you.

How to deal with very light backgrounds?

This is probably an new feature (enhancement) request, not an issue really.

My favourite is fully transparent mode, but when the background (wallpaper) is very light this becomes unusable. Then my second best choice is transparency with shadow, which works for some light backgrounds, but not always...
Therefore, as I prefer the slideshow mode for the wallpaper, I switch to my last choice: semi-transparency. But here I have the same problem as manually tweaking the cinnamon.css file of the theme I use: the level of transparency set also effects the panel icons and texts which don't look so good in some cases...

So I wonder if there's anything you can do in this respect: Keeping panel icons & text solid at all times?

Panel transparency is not changed when a window is (un)maximized

Extension version: 4.0~20181106 (2019-12-27 09:42:37)
Cinnamon version: 4.4.8
Attach log: .xsession-errors

Describe the bug
The panel does not change its transparency when a window is (un)maximized or minimized. However when another windows is closed, then the panel transparency is immediately updated.

Steps to reproduce
Start with an empty desktop, open a terminal window and maximize it. The panel is still transparent, however the expectation is the panel should be non-transparent at this moment. Then open another window, close it and the panel transparency is changed to non-transparent.

Then unmaximize the original terminal window. The panel is still non-transparent, however the expectation is the panel should be transparent. Then open another window and close it. The panel transparency is changed to transparent.

Beside the above mentioned bug, the extension is excellent. I really like your work!

English: 'Transparentize your panels when there are no any maximized windows' (_sic_)

I report a problem with the webpage (this one, but also this on GitHub).

'Transparentize' is not the best English but that to which I am objecting is the 'no' (within 'are no any'). You mean: 'when no window is maximized'. [EDITED.]

Feature Request: Blur Panel Background option?

I'm not sure if this'd be possible, but it's something I've always wanted from day 1 on Cinnamon, even if it's only a performance reducing option for this extension...

No transparent-panels in applet manager Cinnamon 20.3

Issue
Hi
I would be interested in using transparent-panels, in Cinnamon 20.3, but I try to install it with any method, it is located in /home/xx/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions, but I can't see it in the applet manager (even in download tabs). When putting it in /home/XX/.local/share/cinnamon/applets, I can see it in the applet manager, but it says it is incompatible with my version of Cinnamon!!!
What can I do?
Thank you

No extension in a Download tab

Describe the bug
When I am trying to search this extension in a Cinammon extension shop, it cant find it. Also, when I installed it using utils.sh, it didnt showed it in a extension list

Feature request: Multi-monitor support

It would be a nice addition if dynamic transparency only triggered for maximized windows on the same display as the panel.

Right now, maximized windows on monitor 2 removes the transparency from monitor 1.
