Bug 485750 – x11-terms/terminator-0.97 - unfocused font brightness cannot be disabled

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description thorus90 2013-09-23 15:42:25 UTC]

It looks like the terminator in gentoo suffers the same bug as in ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1177506

According to them it is already fixed.

Just for the record:

In the new 0.97, I set 'Unfocused terminal font brightness' to 1.0, because I didn't want the brightness to change when unfocused. This resulted in the effect shown in the attached image (focused on the left, unfocused on the right). The nearest I can get to satisfaction is making it 0.9, where it only dims a little bit, but keeps the proper colours.

Yepp, I can reproduce this. But the patch doesn't fix it here. Does it for you?

Didn't try it. Honestly I'm not quiet sure how to do that.

Place that patch

http://dev.gentoo.org/~jlec/paste/terminator-0.97-brightness.patch

into

/etc/portage/patches/x11-terms/terminator

and emerge terminator.

Check in the log, that the patch gets applied.

Yes the patch fixes it for me, thanks for the explanation :)
