   Yeah, this is intended (meant to show case the workspace color), but since transparency can be a bit tricky it isn't guaranteed to work well with all themes and backgrounds.

   Main.panel.actor.set_style('') in your user.js enable function should probably be decent local fix.

   Open to a PR to make it optional.

   @hedning I get it, but are you sure it's within the scope of PaperWM to make the topbar transparent? I'm having issues on launch with Dash to Panel's handling, and it can cause conflict with more extensions

   PS: I'm not asking for support for Dash to Panel -- it works sufficiently well with PaperWM as-is, and choosing to combine such heavy modifications is my responsibility.

   Yeah, I can absolutly buy that argument, and I'll happily accept a PR that makes top bar transparency configurable :)

   Bump. I would like the top bar to be more transparent than it currently is. It's strange that PaperWM modifies the top bar style at all, I don't see what you mean by "workspace color") when you can clearly see it around the borders of the windows already.

   PaperWM:
   

   My preference:
   

   Edit: I had already tried adding the recommended snippet to my user.js, but it wasn't working for me. For some reason, now it is. So I guess I got the problem solved. An official setting for it would still be nice though.
