Hi all,
both at my work and home I run linux mint 17 cinnamon edition. At both PCs, my terminal window is set to semi-transparent, so that I can see the background window. At home this works as expected.
However, at work, I have a pseudo-transparent terminal window which only shows the background wallpaper (see attachment). I know this pseudo-transparency from the lxde desktop where you could enable compositing for true transparency.
Yet, in cinnamon compositing is default and to my knowledge you can't change this.
It seems the settings between both PCs at home and work are the same, but I can't find how to get a truly transparent terminal at my work PC. Can anyone point me in the right direction where to look?
thanks!

Re: terminal transparency
Did you changed themes? And installed the proper graphic driver?

Re: terminal transparency
thanks for your reply.
I also thought it might be the themes, but it's with every theme, also the standard ones.
At work I have a Gigabyte GTX780 installed with proprietary nividia-331 drivers. (doesn't work as expected)
At home I have an Asus GTX770 installed, with the same nvidia-331 drivers. (works as expected)
I need the proprietary drivers for software that uses opencl.
