Bug Description

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS beta 1
Unity version: 5.6.0

In case the the ccsm "Backlight Always Off" option is selected, the dash button does not go transparent. The button is the only icon that is not transparent when this option is selected by the user. The transparency of the remaining two icons, trash and workspace switcher, behaves as it should.

A screenshot is also attached.

no need to use backlog milestone for a non-default (or non-advertised) feature.

Ok, setting to triaged but that's a non official, non supported option so not might get worked any time soon

You can fix that bug if you add the following code statement to bool Launcher::IconDrawEdgeOnly(AbstractLauncherIcon::Ptr icon) const in plugins/unityshell/src/Launcher.cpp

  if ((options()->backlight_mode() == BACKLIGHT_NORMAL || options()->backlight_mode() == BACKLIGHT_ALWAYS_OFF) && icon-> GetIconType() == AbstractLauncherIcon::TYPE_HOME)
    return true;

Note 0: BACKLIGHT_NORMAL is the Backlight Toggle mode. If you don't want to have the dash button transparent when the toggle mode is selected, just remove the BACKLIGHT_NORMAL check.

Note 1: I'm talking about Unity 5 :-)
