As a hint: It is possible to make the panels transparent by editing directly cinnamon.css
in /usr/share/cinnamon/theme/cinnamon.css
#panel {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: transparent;
font-weight: normal;
height: 26px;
width: 32px;
}

Your theme is most likely not the default one then. CSS settings posted earlier apply only to default one.

Look for cinnamon.css file in /home/[user]/.themes/[theme name]/

Thanks a lot for the quick help. I got it now for Mint-Y-Dark-Orange Theme.

Hello,
issue #50 describes the same problem.

Please have a look at PR linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-extensions#395.
With this change the issue should be solved.
