eix and terminology's transluciency #97

Closed igel-kun closed 2 years ago

igel-kun commented 2 years ago

I've recently switched terminal emulators from rxvt-unicode to terminology and I have transluciency enabled on both. However, after the switch, I observe that eix's output forces the background to whatever the terminal thinks is black (in my case, opaque, non-translucient black). That was never an issue with rxvt-unicode because I imagine they handle transluciency by just translating the "lightness" of a color to "opacity" but, in terminology, when black is not translucient for the terminal, then eix's background will be an opaque, solid black. A quick and dirty fix is to set terminology's notion of black to something transparent, but I think that's a workaround for the real problem, which is eix forcing a black background instead of leaving the default (just like anything else, such as ls, really).

Have a look at the eix manpage, in particular "BUGS (and sort of FAQ)" point 2: The configuration

BG0=none
BG1=none
BG2=none
BG3=none

does what you want. But the colors might then be a bad choice. Therefore I recommend to read also the other remarks in this section.

Cool, thanks for the hint, that works :)
