Fluentterminal: Allow to use pure solid background color

Created on 2 Apr 2019  路  8Comments  路  Source: felixse/FluentTerminal

I've set the color to 100 opaque, yet the terminal background color is a sort of weird gray color.

This is because acrylic brushes also add a noise texture besides the transparency. We could add a toggle to completely disable the acrylic brush and use the plain background color instead.

I'm not sure what you mean by "set the color to 100 opaque", can you elaborate?

If you're talking about _Background opacity_, FluentTerminal uses an Acrylic background, therefor I don't think it is intended to be fully transparent if you set it to 0 (primarily for usability reasons). If you set the _Background opacity_ to 100 then the background color should match the one configured in your selected theme.

My issue is the following:

  1. Set Background opacity to 100
  2. Set Background color to black in themes (or choose a theme with a black background).
  3. Set windows theme to enable transparency

Then fluent terminal background is grayish not black.

IF you set windows transparency no disable transparency, then fluent terminal background is black.

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification. I can reproduce this on the latest master (8e5d3dea0aeada2c805d725cc9a3f832cf99a8e0) and the resulting color given your description (my theme color is #000000) is #020202

Ok great!

I second this suggestion, I want to have a pure black background but I can't currently. Is there a status as to when this could come?

Yeah, this bothers me too.

Looking forward to this feature
