Why would it be absurd? Do you use a monochrome display? Because, let's face it, black/white is all you need. Or green/white.

- __david__ 14y agoBecause backgrounds (or movies) like the ones shown in the video make the terminal text completely unreadable and reading the text on a terminal is kind of the whole point of it. Edit: That sounded a little more negative than I meant it. I'm actually a fan of transparent or backgrounds, but I think they need a lot of tint/blur to them or they become distracting and/or make the text unreadable. This was evident in the video where I couldn't read a lot of the grey text once the background picts were enabled. Though the use case for video still eludes me. :-)
- buster 14y agoI have the feeling that many people are distracted by the bad video. The terminal actually looks like this: http://www.bestubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/eae91__terminology-e17-terminal.jpg http://www.bestubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/eae91__... It's very clean and nice looking... I don't understand how this is distracting.
