Yeah, that. Opaque means no transparency. Easier to read/work, or see a picture/video without background stuff mixing in with it. But for my non-focused windows, I’m not actively working on those, so rice it up, transparency all the way! (but still add blur to those, just so I can read them if I need to…)
In school I had a physics teacher who thought it was a good idea one day to use whiteboard markers on the glass windows instead of the whiteboard. I didn’t learn anything that lesson.
Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?
That’s why you want to add blur. I also don’t understand unblurred transparent terminals.
I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.
What’s the difference between opaque and transparent+blur?
The difference between a wall and frosted glass.

Aesthetics
opaque is not transparent and has no blur
transparent+blur has transparency and no blur
hope i helped
Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.
booooring
I just boot straight into the terminal. No desktop, just the void staring at me full of possibilities.
To read thru documentation.
That’s the neat part. You don’t.
Simple: only the out of focus apps have opacity set to 85-90%, the focused app is always 100%. Easy.

what
Very simple actually: don’t use 100% transparency.
Just use something like 80-90% opaque (10-20% transparent) and use the background color as black so it just dims whatever us behind it.
You can have both function and form.
Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.
