Description Amadeusz Sławiński 2013-01-28 17:33:03 UTC 
Konsole seems to use the same opacity for output colors as for background (or maybe just tries to draw less assuming that background has the same color)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
get this: scie.nti.st/dist/256colors2.pl

Choose color theme with black background (White on Black, Linux Colors, etc.), change its transparency to 50%
run colors script, notice that black is also made transparent (first in first row, and top left of first square)
Choose color theme with white background (Black on White), change its transparency to 50%
run colors script, notice that this time white is also made transparent (last in second row, and bottom right in last square)



Expected Results:  
Background transparency shouldn't affect colors

This is no longer the recommended method of getting a translucent Konsole window. It's now a built-in feature. Check out Settings > Edit Current Profile > Appearance > Edit... > Background Transparency (and checkout the blur setting, too!).
