Transparent konsole in qubes 4.1

My multitasking brain loves transparent consoles. It is somehow soothing. Due to some bug or missing feature in qubes graphic system, only konsole’s in dom0 can handle transparencies. In an app-vm, I get “This color scheme uses a transparent background which does not appear to be supported on your desktop” ,
konsole-transp

But transparencies work, when I move the konsole. I got to googling (on duckduckgo) and there is a workaround that works great.

You simply do step 4 (step 1 - 3 not needed) for each konsole in each running app-vm you run konsole’s in. Then, you get transparent konsoles!!! And it survives reboots etc. Anyway step 4 from configuration - How do I make a window transparent in KDE? - Ask Ubuntu
