Comment 48 for bug 1599453

Now I'm really confused. I tried forcing @terminal_bg to be the background in the code. Then it was the same color as gnome terminal. Out of curiosity I changed the definition in gnome-terminal.css to:

@define-color terminal_bg red;

And sure enough, I got a red background. I don't understand how or why it's pulling that from gnome-terminal.css. I even tried changing that from within terminator, without gnome-terminal running, then restarting terminator, and it still affected the color. So, regardless of whether gnome terminal is or was ever running, changing gnome-terminal.css seems to affect terminator's css definitions.

Also, I tried the changes you suggested (I'm now on rev 1654 with the applied patch) and I always get #ffffff.
