Some elements have solid background on a transparent terminal in ikhal

[soweliniko]

I use a terminal that has a semi-transparent background, and in ikal I have this issue, with some elements having a solid color background:

While this is purely visual, it is somewhat of an eyesore. I think it could potentially be fixed by changing colors but I'm not completely sure.

This problem does not exist using khal in the terminal, only in interactive mode.

Agree, this is not pretty.

Hello @nihilazo I'm could reproduce the bug on alacritty (but not on kitty that seems to render en terminal windows then apply the opacity). This is a feature of urwid, the documentation tell that very well :

Default Foreground and Background 'default' (or simply '') 'default' may be specified as a foreground or background to use a terminal’s default color. For
terminals with transparent backgrounds 'default' is the only way to show the transparent background. There is no way to tell what the default colors are, so it is best to use default foregrounds and backgrounds together (not with other colors) to ensure good contrast.

I can try to minimize the behavior with affect default on most element viewed onscreen.

I have the same "issue" in termite

The same happens with Tilix as well.

I don't know if I'm experiencing the same bug, but for me it's far worse. I can't even see the days that the cursor isn't on.

This screenshot was taken far into the future for privacy reasons, but as you can see only the selected day is visible. I use the unicode rxvt as provided by my distro Manjaro i3.

Update: This doesn't occur on a default st. May be a conflict with the default color scheme of that distro.
