terminal no longer has transparency/opacity

[plasmoduck]

My terminal is normally transparent/opaque. When I open vis there is no longer transparency/opacity and it is a solid color background. How to keep the transparency/opacity?

You will need to use a theme that just passes through the terminal background. Something like erf's minimal clear theme or my term theme should work.

If there is a particular theme you like you can modify it to just not set the background.

I just use the default-16 theme cause it's the same as my existing terminal colors (gruvbox), what do I have to change in default-16?

Sorry, dark-16.lua is what I'm using. On Mon, 12 June 2023, 9:36 am Chris Garvin, ***@***.***> wrote:

Thanks for your reply. I tried both the themes you included, unfortunatly they both seem to paint some background color, a blushish grey. Not sure what is happening?

I wish the vis came with themes that takes transparent background into account. Or a mechanism by which without modifying a themes file a transparent background can be obtained

[Randy Palamar]

Patches are welcome!

I find transparency annoying in most cases but I will set it up to test any patches.

I also think that an editor such as vis should come with a theme that does not define a solid background and that respects the background defined by the terminal. This is how vis looks like by default in my xfce-terminal.

It is one of the first things that newcomers see, and it is disruptive. Before even thinking about how vis works, it directly distracts me into trying to find a "sane" theme that looks like ok with my terminal colour palette.
