I’ve definitely been preferring a transparent background on my terminal lately, particularly when I only have one screen, because it increases my ability to read the reference material I have opened behind it. At the very least, if I have to alt-tab it out of the way, I’m already oriented on the page. So I can see the benefit in at least some use cases.
I don’t think I’d like to have it on everything, though. Or basically anything except my terminal, for that matter.
- SoftTalker 1y agoTransparent terminals are still a thing? I thought that fad ended 10 years ago. Never made any sense to me.
- hxtk 1y agoHonestly I thought I’d hate it, but if I get the transparency just right where it’s not distracting but I can still see read through it if I try, I do find that it helps when I find myself lacking screen real estate. I’d still rather have an opaque terminal and just get a second monitor, but that’s not always an option.
