It is not off by default, and the UI is not easy to find. Also, the anonymizing proxy was found to be insufficient and still leaked data through to Amazon.

i just tried out fedora 21 in a VM and it was surprisingly usable: it's easy to enable transparent backgrounds in the terminal

are the terminals actually transparent or is it still that ridiculous hack where it just copies the right part of the wallpaper and applies some shading to that?

they're actually transparent, like the KDE terminals have been for years gnome ones very well may have been this way for years too, but i know this functionality was removed in early gnome 3 and just now felt motivated to try out some fedora a tiny bit of transparency is nice when you have a ton of terminal windows open, i keep them opaque enough that it isnt distracting at all but i can still see whats behind the terminal if i want to

Mr Dog posted:apparently somebody at Apple decided that Aero looked prettier than OS X pre-Mavericks so now there's gaudy-rear end frosted glass poo poo everywhere The difference is that Aero was too transparent and didn't display anything useful below the frosted glass, Apple's is much more opaque and it's the document content that blends through instead of whatever is below the window.

Gnome-terminal 3.14 supports real transparency I think, but it was fake transparency in gnome 2.

so today I decided to upgrade to fedora 21 because I didn't have anything better to do... my packages were up to date so I ran fedup. it took loving forever. I didn't time it but the process may have taken more than 8 hours. finally I started my newly upgraded os aaaand... it was super lovely. every time after logging in (took forever) there would be a message about a problem with the kernel. the whole system was unbearably slow then I felt an almost deja-vu thing and decided to run yum update and I guess it solved my problems. my impressions so far: - fedora 21's default wallpaper is kind of bad. I never changed the fedora 20 wallpaper because it was nice but now I feel compelled to change this turd. - I like how the terminal's window border is dark now - it does feel a little faster and I appreciate it a lot - before updating it seemed like gnome3 took away my 2/3 custom keyboard shortcuts but now after the yum update they're back. huh
