[SOLVED] Transparency in termite gone

Jellicent · 2013-10-31 08:27:08

So, the title states it pretty well.
Updated last night, went to bed, booted everything like normally, woah! Transparency isn't working!

And I'm pretty sure termite is to blame, somehow... But I don't know why.
I've tested other terminals to rule it out a bit, it works just fine in my old terminal, urxvt.
It's also seemingly not the fault of xcompmgr. I tried using compton, the same situation exists.

I'll just leave my last update log here, since I have no idea what to do. Maybe it's just something really obvious I'm missing.
I tried re-installing termite today, with no success.

This is after I realised transparency is not working

You should try searching for the answer on your own. But since I was looking for the same info, I'll give it to you this time.

Edit: I guess I'm feeling generous.

Thank you! But I reassure you that I did my research and that I didn't find anything until someone in #archlinux said "upstream dropped it".
Ironically I didn't have the idea of looking into the repo myself, since I hoped for something else to be the culprit.

Could you kindly explain how (exactly) to apply that? I have never tinkered with patches.

What I did was I cloned the repo, and manually created the util folder and its files (because it wouldn't compile without the files), patched the config in the main folder, compiled and installed it.
No transparency to see.

Plus I had to take out this part:

##diff -Naur termite.orig/.config.swp termite/.config.swp                    
#--- termite.orig/.config.swp    2013-10-30 19:54:16.560230144 -0700
#+++ termite/.config.swp 1969-12-31 16:00:00.000000000 -0800
#@@ -1,12 +0,0 @@
#-b0VIM 7.4

Because it gave me errors and I don't have that file.

So... yeah.. I could use a bit of advice here. ;/

Edit: Nevermind, found a work-around.

Oh yeah, I forgot to fix that in the patch... sorry about that. I fixed it before I patched it, but I didn't fix the saved copy that resided outside of /tmp. Essentially, I accidentally made the patch when I unknowingly had that file open in vim. Whoops.

In any case, glad you got it working.

Would you mind sharing your work-around?
