## Submitted by Jimi Bove Assigned to **Nick Schermer** **[Link to original bug (#11351)](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11351)** ## Description Created attachment 5789 intended image background for the panel I'm about to also attach the screenshot of my panel when I apply that background image. So, I wanted to have a background image that's transparent EXCEPT in places where I want to be able to read--namely the bottom of my panel. I switch wallpapers every 5 minutes, and some of them make that text unreadable. The problem is, the transparent background I made only appears under certain widgets. After a lot of trial and error, I've determined that it doesn't display when it's under one of the following applets (out of the ones I happen to use): Disk Performance Monitor, System Load Monitor, Network Monitor, Sensor plugin, and the CPU Frequency Monitor. Interestingly, it works with the Sensor plugin when I set to to display "tachos" rather than a temperature. As you can see, in my current setup, the image is only appearing under the clock applet, since that's the only applet I have in that section of the image that works with it. If I move the clock applet around, I can see the full image as bits and pieces, including its gradient to full transparency. It's all very smooth, but only with the clock applet. **Attachment 5789**, "intended image background for the panel":  Version: 4.10.1
