I figured that I wasn’t the only one who noticed this in the “new and improved” version. Seriously; wtf?

I simply dont think gnome-terminal is extra special.

I also use status icon either. And I hate ways gnome guys are doing things recently. That’s why I switched to XFCE. I can’t get Gnome 3 doing things in way I would like.

Did you ask why it was removed?

GNOME Terminal recently moved from GConf to GSettings. The migration took several cycles, the profile handling had to be rewritten, etc…

Could it be that transparency is merely a temporary casualty of that migration? That is, it never was a deliberate decision to remove it, just a case of not having time to reimplement it before the release of 3.8?

Remember: “assume good faith”

In any case, if you are happy with XFCE, then it’s all that matters. :)

Now I can concentrate on my tasks, instead of working around GNOME limitations. I’d been using GNOME since it was first introduced by Red Hat, and so I thought the change would be more difficult than it was. I’m much happier now.
