SOFTWARE VERSION: (Control Panel > General > About product) 1.2009.41-10 STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: Open a popup menu, any popup menu. EXPECTED OUTCOME: The rounded menu corners are transparent, the blurred-out main screen shows through. ACTUAL OUTCOME: The rounded menu corners are solid-color, the color is sometimes unexpected. I will attach screenshots of the application manager and FBReader. REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: I'm just guessing which component to assign this bug to.
Created an attachment (id=1487) [details] screenshot of a popup in the application manager
Created an attachment (id=1488) [details] screenshot of fbreader's main (diablo-style) menu
Confirming. Interesting part is that this does NOT happen always.

I know that Priority isn't a huge factor in fixing bugs or making enhancements, but I feel like this is important. I'm pretty sure anyone with an artistic eye -- and probaby a lot of iPhone users -- would see this minor little lack of eye candy as a huge turn-off (it's been one of the most annoying things about Maemo 5 for me since the very beginning). Therefore I changed the Priority to High. Feel free to argue or change it back to Low Priority, but I'll diasagree. It's the little details that make a world-class OS.
This is still a bug in 2.2009.51-1.
This has been fixed in packages hildon-theme-alpha 9.3+0m5 hildon-theme-beta 8.3+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 2009.52-3 (Note: 2009 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/

BTW: IMO we shall remove all popup menus. Why do we need them?
(In reply to comment #9) > BTW: IMO we shall remove all popup menus. Why do we need them? > This bug refers to contextual popups (tap/hold). These are an integral part of the Maemo 5 UI.
(In reply to comment #9) > BTW: IMO we shall remove all popup menus. Why do we need them? Is there an internal discussion about this within Nokia? Not really helpful to start a potential debate that ends up in bikeshedding here if there definitely won't be changes anyway...

Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
