termite transparency suddenly disappeared

Hi !

The transparency option in termite does not work at all since last termite update. I don't see any errors displayed when starting termite with another terminal.

Thanks for any help !

Re: termite transparency suddenly disappeared

Are you using the package from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/termite/ ?
Since it's a vte-based application, maybe it's vte-related bug. Are you using [testing]?
termite itself hasn't changed recently: https://github.com/thestinger/termite/ When did you last update it?

Hi karol,

[2014-10-10 19:08] [PACMAN] upgraded termite (7-2 -> 8-1)

I'm not using testing, I use termite from AUR, not termite-git.

I will try to downgrade vte3-select-text.

Re: termite transparency suddenly disappeared

It's a known issue, and as karol pointed out, it is because vte changed its transparency implementation.
