Customize terminal background opacity and text color in i3 [closed]
Hello,
I was a tutorial video on i3 on youtube titled "i3 Window Manager Overview" and noticed the speaker had a transparent terminal background and his text was green. I was wondering if anyone here knows how they were able to do that? I didn't post the link because I don't know if posting links is allowed.
I took a look at the i3 Documentation and found the following sections but they didn't seem to be what I was looking for:
4.16. Changing colors
You can change all colors which i3 uses to draw the window decorations.
4.2. Fonts
i3 has support for both X core fonts and FreeType fonts (through Pango) to render window titles.
To generate an X core font description, you can use xfontsel(1). To see special characters (Unicode), you need to use a font which supports the ISO-10646 encoding.
A FreeType font description is composed by a font family, a style, a weight, a variant, a stretch and a size. FreeType fonts support right-to-left rendering and contain often more Unicode glyphs than X core fonts.
If i3 cannot open the configured font, it will output an error in the logfile and fall back to a working font.
The customization of the terminal depends on the terminal emulator but it has nothing to do with i3 and as such is off-topic here. But it should be easy to find the answer on the Internet. If you are unsure what terminal emulator you are using try running `ps $PPID` in a new terminal.
Thank you, you were right (as usual)
