Terminus: Small suggestion: use 'transparency' rather than 'vibrancy'

Created on 29 Oct 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: Eugeny/terminus

Replace 'vibrant' with 'transparent' and 'vibrancy' with 'transparency' in both the README and the settings screen.

  • Vibrant means having energy. It's not clear what 'vibrant' means in terms of a terminal

  • Currently 'vibrancy' needs to be explained - using the term 'transparent'. Which probably means transparent is a better name.

I'd argue that macOS users are generally aware of vibrancy as a "brand name", but dynamically renaming it to Acrylic on Windows would probably be nice.

This actually refers to a specific term: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/visual-design/translucency/

On Windows, MS's latest implementation is called "Acrylic background" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/style/acrylic), but it's supported on Insider Builds only so far.

The background style used on the latest stable is the same as Windows Aero, but MS has deprecated this name AFAIK.

I wonder if 'Acryllic' could be better on Windows, and 'Translucency' or 'Vibrancy' on Mac, per those links.
