Ubuntu – How to set up transparent background in XFCE terminal

I can't find the option to make the terminal background transparent 🙁 Any idea where can it be?

Best Answer

Go to Preferences, Appearance tab, Under Background select 'Transparent Background' and move the slider beneath it to the left.

The option may be hidden if no Compositor is active, either built-in or Compiz.

You can use Compiz settings manager (you need to install "compizconfig-settings-manager" package, and then run the "CompizConfig manager" from the "System->Preferences" menu).

Under the "Accessibility" item, you have "opacity, luminosity" option. There you can define the opacity (and then, transparency) of your windows, and you can set it based on the window title or type... If you create a new item here, you can type "class=Nautilus" and select the transparency you want. Then all Nautilus windows will be transparent.
