Bug Description
Binary package hint: light-themes
After a recent update to the Ambiance theme, terminals now have a translucent background.
This greatly hinders the readability of text, especially if there are sharp features behind the terminal and the Compiz blur plugin is not usable or enabled.
The readability problem of text on a background with high-frequency features should be obvious. Are arguments needed?
The background is translucent enough for even tiny text behind the window to be completely readable. That should be an indicator of how much trouble it causes. Readable text composited over readable text simply becomes less readable.
On the other hand, if the translucency is made low enough for things behind to window to be virtually invisible, might as well turn it off altogether.
