Known issues
- Tab characters create holes in the terminal window.
Changes
- Fix terminal transparency.
The built-in terminal is capable of outputting alpha transparent (from 0 to 255, in the RGBA sense) text and thus making "holes" in the GUI terminal window. Transparency can be set for both the text background and the foreground using the SGR attributes48:2and38:2:ESC[48:2:[:]red:green:blue[:alpha]mESC[38:2:[:]red:green:blue[:alpha]m
Note: If you need correct alpha blending, you should specify premultiplied-alpha color values. (We use straight-alpha color values to overbright UI elements such as scrollbars and resize grips to make it visible regardless of the underlying colors).
For example, outputting a pixel-(he)art image with transparency (paste to the vtm -r term pwsh):
