transparency doesn't work [LINUX] #832

Open gganster opened 5 years ago

gganster commented 5 years ago

In application menu, when I slide transparency, Terminus ask me to restart. I restart the app and after, the slider stay in the same place than before, but the opacity was not apply.

willbuck commented 5 years ago

I am having the same issue. Recently switching from OSX to Linux Mint and hoping to find a suitable alternative to iTerm, this looks promising but I would like a little transparency if possible.

This is a web-based app so I can see if I can find somewhere this might be able to PR a fix... no promises

whyboris commented 5 years ago

ps - the transparency slider, from the UI perspective, feels inverted: that is we generally have sliders increase in value when sliding to the right. Since the setting is titled "Transparency" we would think that the right-most value is the most-transparent, yet it's inverted. 🤷‍♂

I though about it, I've tested with the slider at half value position, but opacity still the same

whyboris commented 5 years ago

@zoraneus -- sorry -- I didn't mean to suggest a solution to your problem 😅 I don't know how to fix your slider, but I'm lucky that mine works. I didn't want to create its own issue for a minor UI complaint -- perhaps if others think it's worth tackling they will comment here / create a dedicated issue / create a PR / something else 🤷‍♂

I'm having the same issue. Installed from deb

I have the same issue, and I installed it from deb. My OS is Ubuntu 18.04.

IoTPanic commented 5 years ago

Hey all, awesome project. Issue listed is persistent in Fedora 31, which in case you didnt know is gnome, @ForthTurn probably has gnome as well. Not sure if it would have anything to do with DE but I know of other apps that could render transparency in some DEs but not others.

iomari commented 5 years ago

Greetings, I'm on Ubuntu Eoan and Cosmic. Transparency does not work on either.

victoracunajara commented 5 years ago

Fedora 30, transparency not work

lucasjinreal commented 4 years ago

Seems only macOS work with transparent....

nitishingde commented 4 years ago

Still an issue on Ubuntu

changemenemo commented 4 years ago

fedora 31 workstation in VM, I didn't try on the host which is also a fedora, transparency is not working. Some technical specificaitons: it's gnome boxes VM the user interface is xfce4 the underlying process should be mutter then since it's wayland by default in fedora.

changemenemo commented 4 years ago

still not working with 101 under fedora 31 would be in guest in gnome boxes or even on host.

I have to say I had high hopes for Terminus under Linux - but the settings don't seem to work reliably. The opacity setting is one that doesn't work; others include the "User default shell" that is not picked up (it works in Guake). All in all the responsiveness is also much poorer. Terminals need to be super fast!

mrshmllow commented 4 years ago

Still a issue on ubuntu 20. No matter how much i change the slider it doesn't change

Found this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53612021/12887308 Looks like adding setTimeout method to app.on('ready' can fix this problem

How are we on that? On which display frame wether it's wayland/mutter or xorg are we sure that it is actually working?

MehdiPapir commented 3 years ago

Hi. I use this app on Ubuntu 20.04 with gnome 3.36 and i have same issue almost. When i restart my computer Tabby Opacity doesn't work but when i minimize Tabby and restart gnome (with Alt+F2 and run r command) Opacity changed but it set in constant value and i couldn't change opacity. Maybe it could help you to fix this bug.

Lucroz94 commented 2 years ago

Hi, This is still an issue on Linux. The opacity doesn't work properly. On Windows and MacOs its works from time to time, sometime yes, sometimes no.

Using Tabby 1.0.173 on a Debian Based Linux (Kaisen-Linux) with KDE.

ghost commented 2 years ago

The opacity setting could be marked as "experimental" or similar under Linux since it definitely doesn't work properly yet.

lonepie commented 2 years ago

Running version 1.0.181 on Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE, transparency does work when using these settings:

However the Opacity slider has no effect. When switching to Terminal background: From color scheme the transparency remains active for the Settings tab and window/tab bar, but the background for terminal tabs becomes opaque.

I can force transparency with KDE's Window Rules: Active Opacity & Inactive Opacity, but that applies to the whole window, so text also becomes transparent.

jeremyj563 commented 2 years ago

Running version 1.0.181 on Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE, transparency does work when using these settings:

  • Appearance > Terminal background: From theme
  • Window > Acrylic background: Enabled

^^^ Seems to work perfectly so far on my Ubuntu Budgie 22.04.1 LTS

Ultra980 commented 1 year ago

Transparency works for me, but it's just transparent, not blurred or acrylic.

solariz commented 1 year ago

not working in Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster

Acryl works but make the window like 100% transparent not really able to work like that, terminal itself stays 100% opaque.

Opacy slider = no effect, no matter if acryl on or off.

happycod3r commented 1 year ago

I'm having the same issue with transparency as well. I tried:

It has to be a Tabby issue though because I have other software currently working with transparent background just fine.

Same issue here on Arch Linux. Transparency works, no blurring.

porkcraft commented 10 months ago

Same issue on Windows 11 Build 22621.3085, Transparency works but no acrylic or blur effect. I've tried on both light & dark mode with legacy themes (standard, compact, paper) & default color scheme and nothing worked, still only transparent.
