After last update context menu has own custom view. It has rounded corners, something like arrow at bottom and semitransparent background. It looks very similar with "slide" view subdock. Is there any way to return it back to gtk-theme look or disable transparent at least? Thanks.

Cairo-dock 3.3.99.alpha1
Ubuntu 13.04

I think you are witnessing the future look of cairo-dock which removes gtk theme . You are using the weekly ppa which is for testers so things can break.

I think there will not be gtk-theme anymore but you will be able to configure the menu

Hello,

Currently, it's not possible to customise these menus but options will come asap!

I see. This new style looks pretty good. The one thing transparent background is not everyone will like, so I'm waiting for customization option. Thanks for answers

Yes, I understand.

I think that it can be interesting to have 3 possibilities:
  • Having colours from the current GTK theme.
  • Having the same colours as used in the Slide subdock view.
  • Custom colours.

And always have the possibility to change the transparency and maybe other parameters such as the angle of the corners, etc.

Ok, now setting for dialog boxes are related to menus. But there are still some trouble with it. May I describe here these trouble like "bugs", or it does not make sense since work on new menu style still in progress? Will it be announced when new context menu is ready for testing? Thanks.

Yes please, feel free to report any bugs

The new menu style is ready for testing. Some things are maybe missing but it's always interesting to note somewhere what's missing and what thing doesn't work

@taiebot65: yes, it looks nice

That's good. There are some things I have noticed while playing with settings.

1) Context menu always has horizontal semitransparent gradient on background despite solid color was chosen in settings. I can't find how to disable transparent at all.

2) "Outline width" option works wrong with context menu. It draws something like space margin instead of solid color border. But with dialog boxes this option works fine.

3) Wrong text color in dialog boxes when color option switched to "System". All elements should have dark background and white text according to my gtk theme. It's all right with context menu, but text in dialog boxes black colored somehow.

4) Weird background color for input field when color option switched to "Custom". There is input field for quick search in application menu. When color option switched to "System" it has a nice background color exactly from gtk theme. But with "Custom" color option it has his own custom background, which very uncomfortable.
