From 5130089fb4c0ac8472d0cd974b9cb82d9bf9618b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kovid Goyal Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2025 12:42:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] background_tint will now only applies to background image clarify docs accordingly. It makes no sense for it to apply on background_opacity < 1 windows, since we cant actually blend properly with whats behind our window, only the compositor can do that. Most decent compositors have ways to do that: macOS, KDE, Hyprland to name some. --- kitty/options/definition.py | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kitty/options/definition.py b/kitty/options/definition.py index d5c373bfe..8937817b2 100644 --- a/kitty/options/definition.py +++ b/kitty/options/definition.py @@ -1671,8 +1671,7 @@ opt('background_tint', '0.0', long_text=''' How much to tint the background image by the background color.
