Ctrl + Shift + Mouse Wheel doesn&#39;t change transparancy with useAcrylic set to true #1129

@mKay00 commented on GitHub (May 16, 2019):

What if you set the transparency manually in the profiles.json? Does the transparency work? Is the window in focus? Are you sure you have saved the changes of your profiles.json? Try deinstalling and rebuilding it and then change again to true.

There are other things that affect acrylic that are out of our control. For example, acrylic doesn't render through remote desktop sessions, and IIRC, it doesn't render on battery saver either. It is also well documented that it only renders on windows that are actively focused.

If your profile has useAcrylic set, you can change the opacity of the acrylic with Ctrl+Shift+mouse wheel

Thank you for your suggestions but I have rebuilt it several times with fresh clones of the repository and the problem persisted. I have verified that low battery mode was off and I am not using it through a remote session and the window is focused. Changing the AcrylicOpacity setting doesn't do anything. I will provide the profiles.json file. Opacity doesn't work but zooming with shift mouse wheel works.

I tried your profiles settings and they work for me. Maybe an issue with the Windows version? I am on 18362.

Would me uploading my compiled version help?

I can't change the transparency by Ctrl+Shift+Mouse wheel too.

I have checked the source code of CascadiaSettings.cpp and AppKeyBindings.cpp.
And seems there doesn't exist any key binding about Ctrl+Shift+Mouse for change transparency.

But at the conference, they actually perform this key binding.

I guess they didn't commit this feature yet.
Just a guess, I am not sure that is the reason.

The key binding must exist since mKay00 said it worked for him.. I will try to find it when I have time. What is your windows version garyparrot? It seems to be linked somehow but I am not sure.

I am running 18362.30

I just find out I can actually change the transparency by mouse wheel.
But I have to keep scrolling the wheel in the same direction very hard in order to see the change.

I have tried setting the scroll sensitivity to the maximum but it still doesn't work... It is very interesting that it works for you! We are getting close!

The "keybinding" isn't actually set as a KeyBinding, since KeyBindings are for key combos, while this is a mouse interaction.

Mouse wheel events are handled here:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/src/cascadia/TerminalControl/TermControl.cpp#L696-L717

I'd set a breakpoint there to make sure it's getting hit for you.

Wow, that makes sense.
Mike Griese thanks for your reply! It helps me make this clear.

Yes, sorry I forgot to report it here... I had issues with windows insider (I received updates too fast) which meant that things weren't as stable as other versions. I decided to wait for the release version!
