What Happened?

I use semi-transparent bg to save screen space, but when terminal is tiled/maximized (but not in fullscreen mode!), the background always becomes opaque. This should not be the case, as it essentially makes semi-transparent background useless, not allowing to see the text and windows behind the terminal.

The issue seems to happen because of the way Gala treats H/V maximized windows, however I wonder if there is any workaround to make Terminal an exception.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Set the theme to "Custom"
  3. In Custom theme settings, set background colour to any semi-transparent value
  4. Maximize/tile the Terminal window:
