This is the part that I don't understand. The whole point of 'terminal transparency' is to make the background transparent while leaving the text opaque. This 'workaround' makes everything transparent, which defeats the purpose of leaving the text readable. I don't personally use terminal transparency, but it does not seem logical that someone could see _NET_WM_OPACITY as a replacement for this. This seems like a really weak (and poorly thought out) attempt to 'throw a bone' to the people that want the feature that's being removed. Sure, we're removing the NY strip steak from our menu, but there's always the hamburger, that has beef in it too. You can even add steaksauce to the burger!
