+dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$TMPUID/use-theme-transparency false
+dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$TMPUID/use-transparent-background true
+dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$TMPUID/background-transparency-percent 9
+#on new install, try:
+dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/use-theme-transparency false
+dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/use-transparent-background true
