Comment 4 for bug 1647767

Hi Steve, OK, so looking at your config, you _should_be seeing some transparency. However some people have reported it not working. I suspect it is part down to the theme being used. I think some themes force a solid background in some widget or other so the vte does not appear to be transparent. It is, but it is looking through to a blank solid area, whereas other themes don't do this.

Again, a big chunk of work getting this working (hopefully for everyone) has been merged in the last week or so. So very quick instruction...

1. Find a convenient folder (i.e. "Development") and run the following command:
bzr branch lp:terminator
(you may have to install bzr first. It should be available for fedora.)

2. cd into the new terminator folder.

3. Run
./terminator

Note you will need to either quit any other running instances of Terminator, or you will have to add the -u flag. Otherwise your older 1.90 is just opening another window on behalf of the newer branch. Best bet is to quit out of terminator completely and use a different terminal program to launch the new branch (i.e. I use gnome-terminal)

Hopefully you will now have transparency. In which case you just need to wait for the next release.
