Bug#1049915: mate-terminal: background is non-transparent, settings are useless there

Package: mate-terminal
Version: 1.26.0-2

Dear Maintainer,

I wasn't able to see through the terminal on this distribution.
I think there are conflicting packages in Live image Bookworm gnome/mate, but dunno much really. Several installs
from that media gives same result, I'm using 2014 Macbook if that's relevant. Thanks for reading.

I got really read from your bug report what the underlying problem is.

Is there something wrong with your background image? Or is your MATE
Terminal session's background (are you really using MATE terminal and
not some other terminal emulator?) not transparent, so you can't see
the background image through it.

Note, that in MATE terminal in Debian, a transparent background is not
the default setting. Please play with the terminal's settings and let
me know if things improve.

I will close this as a bug report now as I have the impression that
you are rather asking a support question. Please use the debian-user
mailing list for this in the future.

Mike

Hi

Sorry about that, it's in fact more like support question. What I applied was installing
gnome-terminal, and from that moment MATE-terminal looks perfect.

Oh I didn't mention, i played with settings and dconf-editor even, but no effect. Just
installation of gnome-terminal made it work.
