As long as you have a compatible desktop wallpaper, a good set of |
| 13 |
fonts and colors, it makes your desktop look great while helping |
| 14 |
contrast on the fonts (shadow for example) if you configure it well. |
| 15 |
Programming on a black or white background can become seriously |
| 16 |
boring, while putting an image as terminal background makes you feel |
| 17 |
like your desktop and terminal are two different worlds (it hurts my |
| 18 |
eyes). |

IMHO transparency is two on one, you set your desktop wallpaper and |
| 21 |
your terms background at the same time. |
