Terminal Transparency and Customization - ChrisL - 09-22-2015 I expect (though I have not been able to find it) that this info is elsewhere.  If so, please let me know and I can delete it. Nothing too complicated here, but I spent a bit of time finding this out, so maybe it will help someone.  I prefer a terminal background that is fairly transparent.  I makes it easier for me to see what's in the background ... which for me as I become more comfortable with using the terminal - is a web page telling me what I need to do or enter in the terminal. There are certainly other ways to do it, but it boils down to preference.  So, > Click on and open the terminal in the panel (default lxterminal). > Then in the choices at the top select: Edit. > Select Preferences. > Then you have a button for "background", click on that. > You are now able to choose a different color AND there is a slider to choose: Opacity. > Do so, then click "OK". > Click "OK" again to close the dialog ... Done! You might want to choose a different foreground (text) color or font while you are at it. Re: Terminal Transparency and Customization - UltraCookie - 09-22-2015 Fun fact: If your compositor is deactivated transparency is only simulated and you background image will be shown in the terminal window even if there is another window open Re: Terminal Transparency and Customization - Kilpatrickap - 10-10-2015 Thanks for the tutorial.
