Set transparency in Ptyxis (GNOME Terminal) in Fedora 41

set-transparency.md

Get the UUID of the default profile

Substitute that value in to the second command to enable transparency level

$ dconf read /org/gnome/Ptyxis/default-profile-uuid
'3aae5a177777aa966b1fd63467153e2d'
$ dconf write /org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/3aae5a177777aa966b1fd63467153e2d/opacity 0.85

you were sent by god himself. i was kinda stuck at this for a few hours :D

You saved my time. Thank you!

Did your transparency stop working too? I used this method and it was working great, even now it still shows the transparency setting. However, now it just isn't transparent at all despite the setting.

@FlexibleToast I just ran all of the available updates on Fedora 41 on my laptop, restarted, and transparency is still working here, so I am not sure how to help.

I ended up installing the flatpak version and used this guide to set the transparency on the flatpak: https://mmilburn.dev/blog/transparency-in-ptyxis/

I have no idea why the rpm version on my Silverblue install stopped actually being transparent despite being set.

Ah, great to hear you figured it out 👍

thank you :)

Awesome.

Ubuntu 26.04 , same terminal (Ptyxis (GNOME Terminal) i), works as charm (nevertheless i prefer .70 instead of. 85) Thank you AndyPiper
