Terminal Background in Ubuntu
I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04, I was configuring the terminal, but I can't change the background of it to transparent. There is an option, but it doesn't work, please help me.
Solution 1:
The terminal in Ubuntu 14.04 supports profiles. In order to get a transparent terminal follow these steps:
- Open a terminal
- Select Profile preferences in the menu Edit
- Select the Background tab
- Check the Transparent background radio button
- Adjust the Shade background or image background slider to your preference
You could also select Profiles in the menu Edit and create a new profile so you can easily switch between the default and the transparent background (and other settings).
Solution 2:
It seems to have been removed from gnome-terminal, canonical added a workaround for unity but under gnome-shell this workaround doesn't work.
There's an interesting discussion on the subject on the gnome bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698544
Until they decide to re-add the feature it seems xfce4-terminal or konsole are going to have to be your 'work around'
