How do you change the AWN menu settings on the lower right hand corner of the screen??

I am trying to make the background transparent and would like the text to be white.

Any suggestions??

I also checked the forum again and it looks like someone asked the same question but I did not see a solution.

From reading the past forum post, you can change the background in the lower right hand corner through Ubuntu Tweak and change the GTK theme. Although, I do not see a transparent theme.

I could remove "indicator 3 applet" and add other applets but I do not see individual applets for wireless, sound, (do not really need the mail icon). I still would like the date and time present. I did see some clock applets. I could replace some things with Conky which is another option.

I suppose for now I will leave it alone until I can find a solution.

Ok, this is what I came up with after looking for possible solutions. I deleted the "indicator 3 applet" and installed individual applets. Still looking for a better clock applet but it will do for now.

Please mark this as SOLVED.

Does anyone know if you can change the indicator 3 applet background to transparent in the new Zorin 6.2 release?

Hope you get a response, I'd really like to see the indicator-3 applet with a transparency setting.
