In X11, when compiling the latest src for 1.2b, I'm now experiencing window transparencies that I can't control/disable within the application. This has never occurred before.
After compiling, when I launch in X11 mode, Pop!OS 20.04 LTS (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) is now showing the main menu of xterm within a transparent window. This behavior never occurred before recent updates. I've attach a screenshot so you can see what it looks like to me.
Interesting... does the look change if you resize the window using ALT-Left and ALT-Right? Also, does the background you see "through" the window change when you move the window around on the screen (that is, does it take a snapshot of what was under it that moves along with the window, or does it remain transparent)?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, it changes sizes properly if I use ALT-Left and ALT-Right. Also, yes, the background that you see through the window changes when you move the window around the screen. If I position it differently, it remains transparent and will show whatever the content is under the Syncterm window. My screenshot program will capture it accurately and doesn't distort the captured image.
Just for clarity, I don't have any transparencies globally enabled in my desktop environment (Gnome 3). Again, this only happened after the code update and recompile around the time of my first report. Let me know if there's some logging or additional system information that would be helpful. I'm happy to share, as I use this program all the time (and it's awesome BTW). The transparencies mean I have to run in SDL or curses mode, as it becomes extremely difficult to read otherwise.
Thanks,

After my latest pull, the problem seems to have been corrected. I'm no longer seeing transparencies in x11. Perhaps, it was corrected by another recent change.

The X11 version does not support anything which does transparencies.... what are you seeing that looks like that?

Here's an example of what it looks like on top of a white Chrome Window.
