I'm one of those that loved the transparent panel, so a heavy black panel or staring light one is uncomfortable for me. I like a panel that blends as near as possible into the desktop colours, and in the absence of transparent panel I opt for oxyglass, as of all the ones I've tried, that's nearest. If I have to choose between a pleasant panel for 99.9%+ of my time at the computer and losing some lancelot display, or getting a nice lancelot display and hating my desktop, you can guess which I choose. Sorry Ivan - no disrespect to lancelot. When I get a laptop capable of using compositing (or drivers improve, though for a 4-year old model I doubt it) things will be different.
