Many other terminals support true 24-bit color including pantheon-terminal and the terminal shipped in Atom's terminal-plus package. Guake's terminal doesn't seem to provide this as demonstrated in the screenshot.

Major +1, I rely on true color support in gnome-terminal for color schemes in NeoVim and things of the sort.
Running these applications in Guake without true color support, well..

I found a way around this.
In Guake, echo your $TERM variable. Make sure you have done export TERM=screen-256color. I had to make Guake run as a login shell to get it working as expected.
By the way, what DE are you running?

I cannot get it to work properly , does guake support true colors ? or is it approximations based on the terminal color palette ?
His IDE seems to be neovim btw :)

My TERM variable is set to screen-256color (in tmux at least) and xterm-256color outside of it, but that doesn't change anything.
The editor in the screenshots is indeed NeoVim.

@Happykat I was asking what his _desktop_ environment was, not his integrated development environment :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
@FujiMakoto Here's a Perl script which will test things for you. Run this script and you'll be able to see the full spectrum of what is supported. This isn't my script.
I'm not sure if Guake supports true colors, but I'm running tmux and I'm getting pretty good color support:
If you run that script in a terminal emulator that you _know_ has true color support, just screenshot and compare the results.

Ah, you are testing _256color_ support, not true color (16 million colors) support.
Use the awk script posted here to check for true color support,

Here is a comparison of the script run in Gnome Terminal and Guake,
Also, the DE is Unity with the Numix theme, sorry about that. He made me see an I that wasn't there :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, sorry, I missed the second part of the screenshot.
Here is the comparison with the above script,

@rfkrocktk Oh sorry >< i read IDE my bad ><
@FujiMakoto i have made it one step further , but still it is NOT true color support :
You can see that it is not smooth at all...
I am using guake , with tmux . echo $TERM report : screen-256color
my zshrc , init.vim and tmux.conf are on my Dotfile repo. I don't see how to activate true color support.
@FujiMakoto What version of guake are you using btw ?
hroussille

@Happykat: 0.8.5.1 (0.8.5-1~webupd8~xenial0)

Gnome Terminal is VTE with true color support, for what it's worth.

yes, but should be a new version of vte. With gtk2, we are stuck with an old version (e: does not provide search method, while gtk3's ate provides it, and so on)

Is there any plan to port to gtk3 soon ?

Rewrite started. Might be finished until end of this year...

I'm also interested in this, our terminals would be much better. Hopefully a new version of guake with true color support soon. Thanks.

Guake supports true color now correct?

Can someone test on Guake 3 ? I guess VTE now allows this, but I may have to tune the environment variables

It seems it works.

@AnwarShah Only for bionic. But you can get the latest Guake by running:
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade guake

It is risky to install like this. At least use --user. Avoid as much as possible to install any python package using sudo pip3.

I installed using make and make install. Didn't use pip
