Konsole transparency not working

[mszeftel]

I' m having problems setting a transparent background in Konsole. Im using an almost fresh install of dapper.

I go to Configure Konsole, and create a new schema. I set transparency for backgroung and move the slidebar a little, and then i save the schema. When i use the schema i have created i see nothing but black in the console.

I check the configuration of my schema and see that the transparency settings were not saved. They never are.

Has anyone experienced this problem?? Any ideas??

Regards, Matias

Re: Konsole transparency not working

You have to save it as the default.

You have to save it as the default.

Of course i ve done that, but every time i set my schema the console goes black. (ALL BLACK, text and background)

That's strange.

Maybe you should try

sudo chown -R mszeftel:mszeftel ~/.kde
sudo chmod -R 700 ~/.kde

and see if that makes a difference.

You can also start from scratch by doing

mv ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole.backup

It worked for me and it is very nice; first time I use it.

Here is what I did:
> open konsole
> Settings >Configure Konsole
> select the tab 'Schema'
> in the schema window (there many schemas), choose Transparent Konsole
> just below the schema window, check the box 'Set as default schema'
> click Apply
> go back to the konsole and click 'Settings'
> in Settings, choose 'Save as default'

Good luck
