Gnome 3.10 - Transparency of Tilda is gone

Hey,

since I just updated to Gnome 3.10 my Tilda Terminal lost its transparency. What can I do against that? Tilda is still active in gnome-session-properties. Even a pkill tilda and then start it again does not bring transparency back.

This is a known error. Don' ask me which package is brocken, I don't remember. But I've read bout brocken transparency in some more apps a few days ago.

I installed vte3-select-text from AUR, aur/vte3-select-text 0.34.7-1, which replaced vte3 and have transparency restored for tilda and terra. So far so good. HTH.

Edit - Update, Dropdown Terminal also has transparency again.

Re: Gnome 3.10 - Transparency of Tilda is gone

I'm going to spend more time over the long weekend on this but for now I've just tried up/downgrading packages since my last post, and after a system update, shell restart and reboot.

vte-select-text, tilda-git, vte3, vte-common packages were updated.  All transparency in the affected terminals not now functioning again.

I then downgraded the vte-common package and the vte3 package to their previous versions. Tilda, Tilda-git, Gnome-Shell Dropdown Terminal & Terra had transparency again. Re-upgrading to the current version of the vte-common package caused no changes. Updates to the Tilda-git package in this state lost transparency. Terra, GS Dropdown kept transparency. Re-upgrading the vte3 package, all these terminals transparency lost.

No consistent transparency in Tilda/-git.

Present state, vte-common is the  current package, vte3 is downgraded to previous version. Terra, GS Dropdown with transparency. Up/downgrade of vte-select-text inconsistent or no transparency for Tilda/-git.

For now I've replaced tilda/tilda-git with stjerm(AUR). It functions the same with comparable features and kept transparency through all the package changes.

Probably will have to update vte3 eventually. But I'll have more time over the weekend to look at the vte3 package changes.

Re: Gnome 3.10 - Transparency of Tilda is gone

I have the same problems with gnome-pie. Has someone an idea how to fix that problem globally? Or is it a new feature of gnome 3.10?

What is the status of this problem ? Is it fixed already ? I'm asking because I still have no transparency in my Tilda.

Wow, I'm so glad I didtched vte completely a year ago. This is not a common terminal widget, it's a gnome terminal widget.
