Inactive menubar in Saline OS 1.2
« Thread Started on Mar 14, 2011, 6:01pm »

This is probably a REALLY nitpickey sort of thing for me to bring up, but I've noticed that when a window is inactive the borders turn to a sort of greyish color. The menubar, however, remains black. I tried tooling around in the Albatross gtkrc file, but I had no idea what I was doing. Just bringing this to the dev's attention and looking for a possible fix to that little problem.

The menu bar is static and always is in Xfce, I think anyway. The only thing I could suggest is changing the theme to one that uses a grey menu bar and black text.

Hmmm... It doesn't seem to want to change. Here's an image to show you what I'm talking about.

Yes, I don't believe that can change as its always a static color. The color is defined by the theme. So to get that grey when the window is inactive it would need to always be grey (Which would require using another theme).

If you mean the Panel, right click the panel and go to Customize Panel then Autohide.
