Hey all, new to Garuda and linux in general. I’m using the Dragonized Gaming edition of Garuda.
I’m trying to disable the bottom dock transparency (make it more opaque), as I find that it’s difficult for me to see without some sort of background (I’m legally blind).
What I’ve tried:
Configure Panel Colorizer. I’ve loaded the Garuda Dock preset and under Appearance I toggled both Background and towards the bottom the Enable for Background and fiddled with those settings, too.
I’ve tried going into the Enter Edit Mode on the desktop and selecting the bottom dock, and toggling the Opacity feature and it doesn’t do anything.
Here is my Garuda Inxi:
