Granted, it'll look better, but that's it.
IMO transparency is one of the most useless features.
True, it's not that usefull, but it does look nice.
Yes, it certainly has the potential to look nice. No doubt.
It provides a nice
change of pace, so that way, when you're running a terminal in X, it
doesn't look exactly like the regular shell.
Well - a terminal is something to work with. And this has to
be functional and not "provide a change of pace".
As far as making it harder
to read, I've found it quite easy. If it conflicts with your background
design, just change the text color.
My text color is black, as my background is white, which is, BTW,
the best to read for the majority of people (if you're not handicapped,
that is). That's so, because the contrast between the text and the
background cannot be higher than with black on white (or white on
black).
It is also possible to turn the
transparency off, if needed.
Yep. That's what I do.
But hey, if you can work with a transparent term - fine! Nice for
you!
