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
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
@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 🤷♂

still an issue
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.
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.
Greetings, I'm on Ubuntu Eoan and Cosmic. Transparency does not work on either.
Fedora 30, transparency not work
Seems only macOS work with transparent....
Still an issue on Ubuntu
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.
still not working with 101 under fedora 31 would be in guest in gnome boxes or even on host.
same issue on 20.04
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!
Still a issue on ubuntu 20. No matter how much i change the slider it doesn't change
same issue on ArchLinux, Gnome(Wayland)
Same issue on latest version alpha 116 on openSUSE + Gnome and KDE
Same issue with last release (binaries) on Arch Linux
Same issue using Ubuntu Cinnamon
Same issue in Ubuntu 20.04
Same issue in Zorin OS
Still an issue. Ubuntu 19.04.
Even picom has NO effect(but it is with xfce4-terminal)
Still an issue in Pop OS 20.04
Still an issue. Ubuntu 18.04.

Looks like adding setTimeout
method to app.on('ready'
can fix this problem

Same issue on Ubuntu 18.04, KDE-Ubuntu. Really hoping this is resolved It works fine on my windows boot, however
same issue Ubuntu 20.04. I dont think they are trying to fix this anytime soon.
Same issue. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Same issue on Linux Mint 20.1 (Cinnamon)
How are we on that? On which display frame wether it's wayland/mutter or xorg are we sure that it is actually working?
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.
Same issue on archlinux + KDE
same issue MacOS Big Sur
same issue under following conditions
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.
The opacity setting could be marked as "experimental" or similar under Linux since it definitely doesn't work properly yet.
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
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.

^^^ Seems to work perfectly so far on my Ubuntu Budgie 22.04.1 LTS
Transparency works for me, but it's just transparent, not blurred or acrylic.
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.
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 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, none of the suggested solutions work unfortunately

Same issue here on Arch Linux. Transparency works, no blurring.
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.
Still an Issue on Pop!_os 22.04
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.
