How can I have Gnome terminal effects for XFCE?

Surely, this is documented somewhere. I for some reason or another cannot find the answer for this.

Most people are wanting to make their terminals completely transparent, I however want the effects where you see the desktop background. I am certain that this is default for gnome. What is this effect called and How can I get this in XFCE?

I was told that installing something like Terminator would resolve this but its just the true transparency which looks messy with a ton of windows and stuff going on.

Here is an example of what I am wanting for XFCE.

Thanks in advance !

Solution

  • In the Xubuntu version that I have solved this issue accidentally. I had to go to manage settings menu -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor(tab)

    and uncheck Enable Display Compositing

    Now I can have the terminal just show the desktop background instead of every thing that is messy behind it.
