-### Transparency
+### Solarized mode
 
-If you want transparency, run the following. (You will also need to have a composite manager, such as compton or xcompmgr running for the transparency to appear.)
+The terminal is now transparent by default, if you want non-transparent solarized colors, run the following:
-
-```
-make clean
-patch < patches/transparency.diff
-make
-sudo make install
-```
-
-And to remove transparency, just unapply the diff patch and reinstall.
