As title (about menù I mean Application, Places/System ecc):

on my pc i have Animation working on the menù too, instead on the laptop only on the windows...why?


Another thing, I would have transparent also to menù (now opaque, not only to the panel...I saw this kind of effects but I dont remember where...is it possible or I dreamed? :D


Edit: first solved :D

Ok, i saw that i can set "Opacity Windows" as i prefer.... but is there a way if I would have "written" and "icons" always perfectly visible?

For a window's background to be translucent without also causing everything else in that window to be translucent, the program drawing that window must be aware of ARGB visuals and specify its own rules for regions and elements that should or should not be transparent. The gnome-terminal is an example of a program that does this.

With standard windows like those in your screenshots, it's an all or nothing affair... Either everything in the window is equally translucent, or no part of it is translucent.

So, there is no way with Compiz Fusion?

Not without more intelligence from the other programs you're running, no. This is an issue that exists with every compositing manager, not just Compiz.
