Transparency issue in Cinnamon over Arch about cmatrix

[eromatiya]

Same problem. Using arch linux, black background in kitty terminal with transparency. Fixed by installing cmatrix-git in aur that uses cmatrix 1.2.

Wonderful. I'm working on fixing the cmake to make it behave the same as autotools. Expect a patch soon.

@space-pagan Confirmed on Arch Linux, building with make gives the default background color, and with cmake does not.

Also, the difference between aur package and official repo package is exactly the build method they use, see

Same bug on arch.
I'm on i3wm and termite.

[AnirvanB]

Also on Arch.
Seeing an opaque background. DE: GNOME and Terminal. Downgrading to cmatrix 1.2 (installing cmatrix-git from AUR).

Same on Konsole and Plasma 5

[space-pagan]

This is most likely due to an issue in the cmake directive. If the anyone here would like to try building with

autoreconf -i
./configure
make

and let me know the results, it would be appreciated.

Transparency issue is still present.
It work with AUR package, but not official repo package.
