Transparency doesn't work after update to 1.3 in Gnome Shell

[hsz]

With tilda in version 1.2.4 everything worked fine in Gnome Shell. After update and "fixing"

Fixed an issue with transparency in GNOME Shell

Tilda has no transparency feature anymore.

 ~ $  tilda --version
Tilda 1.3.0
 ~ $  gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.18.3
 ~ $  uname -a
Linux hsz 4.2.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 27 08:13:28 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What do you means with: Has no transparency feature anymore? The transparency option should still be there in the Wizard. If not please take a screenshot.

The transparency code was change a little because of the new VTE version that tilda now uses. The settings should be migrated automatically but maybe there was a problem with you configuration. Can you check in the preferences if transparency is enabled and set to the correct value?

[hsz]

@lanoxx It means that no matter what value I set in the "transparency" option - it is ignored and the background is 100% solid black.

Even if I remove old configuration and set everything again, transparency still doesn't work.

Screenshot below...

Tilda settings:

And some additional information from the autogen:

/tmp/tilda-tilda-1.3.0 $  ./autogen.sh 
This will do all the autotools stuff so that you can build
tilda successfully. It will also call the ./configure script
and pass on any options which you passed to this script
See ./configure --help to know which options are available

When it is finished, take the usual steps to install:
make
make install

Thanks for the detailed information. I will try to reproduce it when I have time on the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[lanoxx]

P.S. If you still have vte 2.90 on your system you try to recompile with configure option disable-vte-2.91, that should bring back the old transparency code.

[sryze]

I think it's because of vte-2.91, I too have no transparency with tilda 1.3 but it works okay with 1.2.4 (on Ubuntu 15.10). I remember there were big debates about libvte dropping transparency support or something like that a while ago, perhaps that happened in version 2.91.

[lanoxx]

I am very sorry for this regression. Apparently this mistake slipped in through commit 47c679f, which was not supposed to remove that line. I will make a 1.3.1 release in the coming days that will ship this fix. Sorry for the inconvenience and the long delay.

[hsz]

@lanoxx It's nice to hear that you were able to fix it. Thanks !

[sryze]

Thank you, it works now!

[sryze]

There seems to be a small bug though, not sure if old or new: when you switch to another color scheme, visible transparency level is reset to 0, however its old value is reflected in transparency settings. If you change it slightly, like if you increase it by 1 and decrease back, background becomes transparent again.

[lanoxx]

Didn'try the patch yet, but should that not be VTE_291 instead of VTE_290?

[lanoxx]

Ah sorry, its ifndef, didn't the that at the first look.
