+1... Never really thought about it, but really a good point, and a great step towards a professional looking OS

It's a paper cut.
Go launchpad and open a bug :)

it can't be done because of 2 reasons:
1. the colored ones are buttons and buttons have 3 states or more, but sound became a notification in the notification area applet, so do you see the difference.
2. gnome-shell already changed the way that gnome-panel works or in another way there is a new notification system that work better than the current one.

@jensfr
Thanks :-)
It's just my interface experience.
@Malaria
I think, it's feature request.
Here is many programs in Gnome written by different technologies. They are not buggy - it's just different implementations.
@Shady3D
I don't believe you.
Look around - 21th century. All can be done!

@shinkanzen
I also agree with you.
Pushed button decide problem with colors of text and icon.
They are still keeped and no need to change it.

The indicator applet and indicator-session-applet look like they do because they are applets, the clock looks like it does because it is a button, and the rest are notification area icons.
We can make the clock and the applets look the same but the panel does not control the notification area applets.
The only way to make this look consistent is to make the applets look the same as the notification area icons which is the worst of the three.

@all_who_disagree 21st centure doesn't mean that we have time waste on something that already going to change, you can change this idea to anticipate this problem in gnome-shell but not in the current gnome panel. its non sense.

We may not be able to _force_ notification icons to comply with the way the other icons work, but can't we make the default ones comply, and then put out a "strong recommendation" that third-party ones do?

@amaranth: I actually think that the “it’s good”/solution #1 is the worst of the three, because the icon becomes nearly impossible to see with the default theme. The clock’s is the best, and the volume control is so-so.

This is especially ugly when using transparent panels, and is true for the "Show Desktop Button" and "Window List" applets as well. It's been annoying me forever. Also, for people who don't like Gnome-shell's interface, will they be able to get a traditional desktop layout? If so, will that be through Gnome-panel or something else?

Another annoyance is that a lot of panel applets don't use the same background as the panel they're in.

Implementation of this fix should DEFINITELY be in the next form of Gnome's panel, but it should also be fixed in the current form. I'm sure there's away to accomplish this without resorting to "wait on the next service pack" - a rather windows-centric mentality.
I think the button idea is the best one; using colors could become dangerous if the user implements a different theme or transparency.

Solution 3 makes no sense...

Solution 1, couldn't agree more. Oddly enough, I never noticed this, besides the clock.
The way they look now is a little... differing. They're all of same kind of thing; they are all status icons. Keeping with the current style is like suggesting they are all very unique, and fall into different categories of operation. That can be quite confusing to new users.

Solution #7: If we start adding configurations for changing between a button or a highlight, we should add one to choose the exact gradient under the menu bar, and one to select the distance in pixels between the three parts of the Ubuntu logo.
Besides, if it's not user-accessible, what is it useful for?

And where is my solution?!
People want the changes, but some people was delete it.
It's not humanity and system still ugly in the tray.
Fucking lazy developers.

Uniform behavior was introduced with Unity in 11.04.
