For me, it always acted like this when I tested in VMs, transparency is OK the first time you launch the application... but once the window looses focus (by any means), the window becomes transparent, see TerminalWin.init_transparency().

Did you update Gtk recently? I remember seeing this issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed (a rolling release), the testing version of Debian, and a recent version of Arch Linux.

I'll try and fix this issue and also get rid of that ConfigManager.use_fake_transparency flag. If transparency doesn't work, we just ignore the setting. (see caveats here, probably the also apply to GI)

Hi,

I tried with my last push and it did not happened. It comes from issue #104, so it's not lib dependant.

Interesting, I've tried last night in Tumbleweed and it had the same issue up to a couple of month ago...

I'll have to take another look at that extra GtkPaned that we removed... probably that was a dirty fix for the transparency issue... I've been reading Gtk documentation and searched the internet, but I couldn't find a proper fix.

Any updates on this? I am seeing this behavior in Ubuntu 16.04 right from the start, i.e. the transparency is never set correctly, neither for the top bar (where the shell info is displayed) nor for the bottom tab (where the logo and terminal tabs are displayed)

Maybe the issue is with GTK and VTE, as Ubuntu 16.04 currently uses GTK version 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3 and VTE version 0.42.5-1ubuntu1 (which I get when installing gir1.2-vte-2.91)
