I am new to awesome wm, when I change the transparency of the terminal from the preferences it turns black instead of becoming transparent I have no idea how to fix it. Not sure what code I should post here to help with the debugging, let me know if any data is required.

So i figured out a way to get it working.

sudo apt-get install compton

and in the rc.lua file add

{ rule = { class = "x-terminal-emulator" },

        properties = { opacity = 0.75 } },

into the

awful.rules.rules

variable

and at the bottom of the rc.lua file add:

awful.util.spawn("compton")
