[arch-general] Transparent gnome-terminal with Wayland
Hi there, with GNOME 3.22 defaulting to Wayland I thought I give it a try. All in all it works pretty well. I just miss the possibility to make some windows a bit less opaque. With Xorg I do it using Devil's Pie, but that doesn't seem to work with Wayland. Is there a way to get transparency with GNOME/Mutter on Wayland?

I can only talk about transparency in gnome-terminal here, but vte (the virtual terminal library gnome-terminal uses) hasn't exposed the transparency interface for quite a while now because gnome-terminal itself doesn't offer that option. The author of termite forked vte into vte-ng so that termite can have some transparency. (gnome-terminal works perfectly fine with vte-ng as the only differences between vte and -ng are interface exposures, but you still won't have transparency in gnome-terminal itself) -- Charlie Li Can't think of a witty .sigline today… (This email address is for mailing list use only; replace local-part with vishwin for off-list communication)
