Hi Guys,
New Arch user here. Me and a friend have both installed Arch on two identical laptops.
I have noticed that the when I make the terminal transparent at the moment it appears to draw the current position of the desktop in the terminal as opposed to what is directly behind the terminal at that moment.
Bizarrely my friend did have this issue but the terminal now appears to be truely transparent and shows the window behind the shell instead of the desktop. We are unsure of what changed this behaviour.
I have checked the wiki and searched on the forum but did not seem to find much.
Is anyone able to offer some advice or point me in the right direction?
Cheers

You need to run some form of composite manager for real transperacy.

Could you tell what window manager/desktop environment (e.g. KDE, Gnome) you use? and your friend?
Also which terminal do you two use?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
Turns out I needed to enable display compositing. I have a nice transparent terminal now
