Can't disable transparency on separators

[awvalenti]

Describe the bug
Terminator uses transparency behind separator lines. Not sure if this behaviour is expected, but I would like to disable it.

To Reproduce

1. Ctrl Shift E to divide vertically

Expected behavior
Not using transparency or offering an option to disable it

Screenshots

If we increase separator size and remove scrollbar, it is more visible:

• OS or Linux Distribution: Linux Mint Cinammon

What version of terminator are you running. I think I've fixed this in 2.0 or 2.1.

[awvalenti]

2.0.1. By the way, this is currently the newest version on PPA, do you plan on updating it to 2.1.1?

[awvalenti]

Any news? Can I help in some way?

[mattrose]

Sorry, can you try pulling down master and testing to see if the problem still exists in master. As I said, I'm pretty sure I fixed this, but it may not be in the release you're running. It could also be in the GTK theme that you're using. Can you see if it happens with the default "Adwaita" themes?

Same issue here with terminator 2.1.1 compiled on Gentoo. The separators are always transparent with any separator size. Please make the separator color and transparency a configuration setting.

[Massimo-B]

I noticed, the issue does not happen with Theme Adwaita, but for instance with my local Mint-X-Red or Radiance. I'm happy with those themes, the separator transparency of Terminator is the only issue.

[mattrose]

This is a problem with those themes not specifying the color of the separators, therefore, GTK renders the separators as transparent. I'm loathe to add more complexity to the preference pane to fix an issue with incomplete GTK themes. There are good instructions in #293 for fixing the CSS for this property manually, and you could push the changes to your favourite theme so that it would fix this problem for everyone who uses that theme.
