Unity top bar 100% transparent

Question

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get unity's top bar to be 100% transparent. I have it so on my second screen, but it seems to add a bit of a background on my main screen. See the screenshot below for what i'm talking about.

Solution

Install CompizConfig Setting Manager from Ubuntu Software Center or through apt-get. In CompizConfig, under the category "Desktop", go to "UBUNTU UNITY PLUGIN". In that, under "General", you will find "Panel Opacity". In that you can select Opacity varying from 1.0000 to 0.0000.... And to properly get result you may log out or restart your device..

'Unity Tweak' might help you...

You can try in ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) > Ubuntu Unity Plugin > General > Background Color setting Opacity to 2. That may help as currently there is a bug where that opacity affects the panel. (the setting of 0 in Background Color > opacity will not produce transparent nor will obviously any high value

Hmm no luck... pretty much the same appearance. Might this be a bug or possibly design of unity? To keep the panel from looking odd in combination with the launcher?

I'm familiar with unity tweak, and have set Panel Opacity to 0.00, yet I still get the semi-transparency on my main screen.

There is only one mistake in your answer. Varying opacity from 1.0000 to 0.0000. Not from 0 to 1.
