I want to add a background picture to my Terminator terminals, but it won't let me.

Should have done more digging. Apparently according to this article it's no longer possible as of version 1.90, and it is currently version 1.91

Then there's the second release which is 1.90. This is pretty solid, and should be usable as your daily driver with 99% of the gtk2 functionality. Of course the new libvte widget is much improved so you'll notice nice improvements in places. One thing we did lose (the missing 1%) in the port to gtk3 was the background image. This is not the Terminator projects fault. The libvte project chose to excise the capability to set an image as the background from the widget. I have figured out a way to add this back in, but that can wait till 2.1. We do however still have true transparency.

  • Many thanks for this. You should mark your own answer as accepted. – aggregate1166877 May 18 '18 at 01:39
  • How disappointing. I installed Terminator because gnome-terminal lost the ability to set the background image. Guess I don't need Terminator as this was the one thing I was looking for. – Daniel C Apr 10 '19 at 12:32
