I've searched but found nothing. Is there anyway to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but it seems the panel don't support real transparency, even in Gnome 3.

Hmm, I hope in the future it will support transparency. Having transparent bar makes the DE a lot more elegant.

I hope too, real transparency would be great. At least, the Gnome 3 panel is more beautiful than in Gnome 2.

I'd say it's a lot more beautiful! GNOME 2 was totally ugly and had to be heavily customized to be made pretty.

Hi
This is my first post here ;-)
To get gnome-shell panel transparency, try this:
Edit the panel section in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css to:
#panel {
color: #ffffff;
/*background-color: black;*/
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
/*border-image: url("panel-border.svg") 1;*/
}
where rgba(0,0,0,0.6) is the alpha channel.
This worked for me.
Not sure about posting a link to ubuntu forums here, but...

what i dont like about editing /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ is that an update is likely to hose everything up..
so i would backup all customizations just to be safe

That worked out great kimura! Thanks! And don't worry about posting a thread from Ubuntu Forums. Linux distros should support each other!
I have another thing though. Right now my upper bar is transparent but the calendar and user widgets are like they used to. I wonder how can I fix this...

you can also use gradients
#panel {
color: #ffffff;
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba(31,30,30,0.9);
background-gradient-end: rgba(56,56,56,0.0);
height: 1.86em;
padding-right: 15px;
}

install gnome extension http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47501 , with the extension called user-theme@something (i deleted all the others) you can change from tweaks-tools the theme of the shell, new themes should be put in in /home/user/.themes/$name-of-theme/gnome-shell/
