Bottom panel has border

Making bottom panel transparent, there is a line running across the bottom panel. How to remove it? I thought it was easy search before. no such luck.

Hi @verndog :slight_smile:

Can you share a screenshot to see how it is looking like ?

See the white line running across the top of the bottom border?

I can confirm this but only on MATE default themes (*Menta, *Submarine etc). It is fine in UM themes (Ambient, Radiant, Yaru MATE). Please check from your end.

If so, solution would either be to use UM themes or raise issue with upstream.

Yes, I found that out too. But somewhere I thought I found a config file to alter the border. Maybe another issue, or confusion on my part. Thanks!

@verndog I do not know much about theming. I found something that seem to get what you want but not sure if this is the correct method or will it have adverse impact elsewhere but you could edit following file (with Menta as an ex theme).

/usr/share/themes/Menta/gtk-3.0/mate-applications.css

Look for following and edit 1px to 0px.

PanelToplevel.horizontal.bottom > grid {
    border-style: outset;
    border-width: 1px 0px 0px 0px;
    border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.23);
}

Note: Probably correct way would be to copy the desired theme folder from /usr/share/themes/ to ~/.themes and edit there.

Thanks. I did read about gtk-3.0 and "css" for Mints themes, I just didn't use it. I'll try your method.
