Zorin OS 15 disable taskbar opacity

Hi all,
I'm an happy zorin os user since version 12!
I've decided to upgrade to version 15 yesterday by contributing to the Zorin OS devs buying Ultimate version.
I only need help with the taskbar: can someone help me in finding a way to disable the opacity?
More generally, can the taskbar and "windows-like" menu options like color, font, sizes, can be modded via some sort of config file?
Appreciate any help that you're willing to share!

Me too, writing on my OPO 3T+ :)
By the way, O.T. : have you managed to install the latest Oxygen 9.03 via TWRP? Read that it has problems on unlocked bootloaders when decrypting the /data/ partition

There is an issue about the transparency in that you can't readily control it - I suspect it may need tweaking by using something like dconf-tools - but not sure. The best advice I can give you is download a theme of your colour choice from here:

https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1273210/

and use

Gnome Tweaks to install it:

As for the OnePlus query, please post under 'Off-Topic' - I don't mess with SmartPhones but would love to run Gael Duvals 'E' on it in place of Android. ;)

Many thanks, will give it a try with a custom theme tomorrow after work hours so if I mess up something I won't blame myself I didn't push anything to gitlab :) ... The goods and bads of IT self-employment...
As of the OPO query, I'll start a 3d on OT as u suggested!

Will let you know about my experience on custom theme!

I did find something in dconf-tools but managed to make the opacity even more! D'OH! :shock: :o

It didn't affect the midnight blue theme but the basic one became very pale! Best not to mess (slaps self on wrist!)
