[Bug 561370] Re: gnome-terminal transparency no longer works reliably (usually opaque, but sometimes shows transparency)
still present in: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS gnome-terminal/bionic-updates,now 3.28.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 amd64 it looks like gnome-terminal isn't sure whether or not to be semi- transparent when the window is not in front and is overlapped by a foreground window. So, I see 3 states when the terminal window is not in focus and partially overlapped by a foreground window: 1) Sometimes it is semi-transparent (like it is expected when a window is overlapped by a foreground window) 2) sometimes it is not transparent, albeit it is not in focus and overlapped by a foreground window. also a bug? 3) and finally sometimes it flickers between the above two states: semi- transparent and non-transparent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561370 Title: gnome-terminal transparency no longer works reliably (usually opaque, but sometimes shows transparency) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/561370/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In cosmic the behavior changes. 1. By default gnome-terminal is always opaque. 2. If you set Use transparency background, check/uncheck "Use the transparency from system theme will not affect anything at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561370 Title: gnome-terminal transparency no longer works reliably (usually opaque, but sometimes shows transparency) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/561370/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still apparent in 18.04.

On 18.04 if you change setting it will result in a stable transparent background: 1. Uncheck "Use transparency from system theme" 2. "Check Use tranparent background" 3.
