Windows have a black shadow around their border, which two similar windows distinguishable when stacked on top of each other. Unfortunately, you changed your terminal's background colour to black which makes the border useless. I think the only option is to tweak all the black background options to be distinguishable from the border colour. In the meantime, you could try using "solarized dark" or "use colours from system theme". Unfortunately those won't give you the green foreground, but you will still get a dark background that works well with the shadow. Created attachment 1039503 [details]
Windows with system theme.
Solarized dark is very foggy for me. I tried the colours from system theme and it is a bit better, but I would still have a problem to distinguish the windows. There is some distinguisher line in the bottom but on the left side is very hard to tell which window is which (see attachment).
From #gnome-design on GIMPNet:

definitely a bug

This issue is in Fedora 23 as well. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'. I'm using Fedora 26 and I have the same issue: Terminal is configured for black and it's very hard to distinguish between overlapping terminals. This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1039467 [details] Screenshot of 3 terminals Description of problem: When adding a 3rd terminal in a single screen it becomes very hard to distinguish it. How reproducible: Open a 3rd terminal once 2 terminals are already available in the screen. The 3rd terminal will be almost invisible. That's part of my day to day work and with the update to F22 it is pretty hard for me to distinguish these terminals. Actual results: Terminals are very hard to distinguish from each other. Expected results: Terminals should be clearly visible.
