I was using Ubuntu 18.04 with my right dock with transparency. After updating, the background dock color is black. I followed the steps answered here: Full transparency on Ubuntu 18.04 dock
but the backgorund dock color still remains black.

I think in 18.10 they have introduced "Yaru" some new themeing style.
by default this dock is themed by #1d1d1d color under /* Yaru Dock styling */
you need it to make it to none or any color you want.


to do so, run the below command in terminal.
sudo -H gedit /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css # change the gedit if you use any other editor.
go to line number 2212 background: #1d1d1d;
#dashtodockContainer.shrink.left #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.dashtodock.left #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.shrink.right #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.dashtodock.right #dash {
background: #1d1d1d;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px; }
change the line background: #1d1d1d; to background: none;
so that it looks like
#dashtodockContainer.shrink.left #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.dashtodock.left #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.shrink.right #dash,
#dashtodockContainer.dashtodock.right #dash {
background: none;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px; }
In the same way go to line number 2150 & 2156 and change the value to none
#dashtodockContainer.opaque {
/* Only alpha value is used */
background-color: none;
border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
transition-duration: 500ms; }
#dashtodockContainer.transparent {
/* Only alpha value is used */
background-color: none;
border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
transition-duration: 500ms; }
Save the file & Close.
run these 3 commands in terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock customize-alphas true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock max-alpha 0.00000000001
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock min-alpha 0.00000000001
Reboot to see the change.
Still there is a Black Color Border visible,
you can change it by line number 1292 either none or any valid preferred color.

Thank you for answer. Changed background to none but the dock still remains in black (or some dark color). I was using Ubuntu 18.04 and gdm3 but after upgrading my system wont show the login screen. So I had to change to lightdm. I dont know if the issue is related to this.

Thank you for answer. Changed background to none but the dock still remains in black (or some dark color). I was using Ubuntu 18.04 and gdm3 but after upgrading my system wont show the login screen. So I had to change to lightdm. I dont know if the issue is related to this.
