Certain themes like the community theme "Homosapien" have transparency in particular apps such as Gnome Terminal and Gnome System Monitor. Is this a bug?

This is a feature of the murrine engine that powers some themes. You only see it on applications that have support for it, such as gnome-system-monitor, unless you add the rgba module to GTK+, which honestly I don't suggest you do unless you are willing to put up with the work required to find all the incompatible programs and add work arounds.

  • Yes, I have no idea when this feature was implemented though. It has done this a while back in Ubuntu on some themes, and only with certain apps. I did not particularly enable rgba. Oct 29, 2010 at 5:13
  • I have it enabled, so if someone wants a list of applications that need to be explicitly disabled I can post it.
