So you can recover the Dynamic Transparency of the top bar in Ubuntu 19.04

Disco Dingo was released on April 18 and the overall impression is good, mainly because the fluidity of the operating system has been improved. But it has also come with the odd change or bugs which can detract from the user experience. One of the changes that Ubuntu 19.04 has introduced is that the Dynamic Transparency from the top bar is no longer available but, as we always say, GNOME is very customizable, although sometimes we have to take a walk around the web to find out how to make certain changes.

The Dynamic Transparency we are talking about makes the top bar change color depending on what we have open. If nothing touches it, the bar will be transparent, so, by default, we will see only the white text floating on the screen above the purple of the Disco Dingo wallpaper. Getting it is relatively easy; we will only need to clone the extension (recommended) and activate it with GNOME Tweaks (recommended) or dconf. Here are the steps to follow to recover the aforementioned Dynamic Transparency.

Enable Dynamic Transparency with Retouching

The steps (recommended) to follow are the following:

1. We cloned the project with this command:

git clone https://github.com/rockon999/dynamic-panel-transparency.git

2. The above will download the extension to our personal folder. Now we go to our personal folder and access the "dynamic-panel-transparency" folder.
3. We copy the folder "dynamic-panel-transparency@rockon999.github.io" in "our personal folder / .local / share / gnome-shell / extensions". If the "extensions" folder is not there, we create it.
4. The next step is to restart the shell, which we can do with Alt + F2 (plus the Fn key on devices that have it active), entering the «r» key without quotes and pressing Enter. If this does not work, something that you will know in the next step because otherwise it would not appear, we restart the operating system.
5. Next we open GNOME Tweaks. If we do not have it installed, we can search for it in the software center or by installing gnome-tweak-tool from the terminal.
6. We go to "Extensions" and activate "Dynamic panel transparency". And that would be all.

From the cogwheel of the options we can configure some parameters, such as the speed of the transition from transparent to dark. That is already at the consumer's taste. How do you prefer it?
