How to make terminator transparent?

By Mia Morrison •

I'm using a standard installation of Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and I'd like to make terminator transparent as we can easily do for the standard terminal.

Is that possible ?

Right click anywhere in the terminator window and choose "Preferences", your desired option should be found under "Profiles"->Background":

Edit your config file in $HOME like this (i.e. vi) :

vi $HOME/.config/terminator/config

insert into [profiles] [[default]] the transparency settings: 

background_darkness = 0.97 #(or anything else between 0-1)
background_type = transparent

this works for me.
