panel with compositing enabled (top) vs disabled (bottom)

See attached screenshot.  I can't figure out where the darker background could be coming from, and it makes the taskbar significantly harder to read at a glance.  I don't see any difference between compositing on/off with Breeze Dark, though, so I'm tentatively blaming Breeze Light.

Arch Linux x64, last updated yesterday.  Using X11.

Adding the x11-only keyword
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-08-19 20:15:39 UTC
Closing as not worth fixing due to minor effect or esoteric nature, and a shift of focus away from X11. Thanks for understanding, folks!
