Want to achieve a sleek and modern transparent terminal in GNOME on Arch Linux? By default, the standard GNOME Terminal does not support background transparency. In this video, I’ll show you how to enable terminal transparency by installing a patched version of GNOME Terminal called gnome-terminal-transparency from the AUR. This custom build adds a transparency slider in the terminal preferences, letting you adjust the background opacity to your liking.

We’ll cover installing the package, configuring your terminal profile for transparency, and tips to balance aesthetics with readability. Whether you prefer subtle transparency or a fully clear background, this guide will help you customize your GNOME terminal for a better visual experience.

Installation Overview:

Install an AUR helper like yay if you don’t have one

Use yay to install gnome-terminal-transparency which replaces the default GNOME Terminal

Open the terminal preferences, go to the Colors tab, and adjust the transparency slider

Optionally, explore alternative terminals like Terminator if you want more customization options
