Transparency makes the text hard to read, and has zero benefit that I've ever been able to see. How do I turn it off? At least in Pantheon Terminal, ideally wherever it might occur.

In order to turn off transparency, open a terminal session and run the following commands, depending on your version of elementary OS:
0.4 Loki
Turn off transparency in WingPanel
gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel use-transparency false
Turn off transparency in Terminal
gsettings set org.pantheon.terminal.settings background "rgba(37, 46, 50, 1.0)"
0.3 Freya
Turn off transparency in WingPanel
gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel auto-adjust-alpha false
gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel background-alpha 1.0
For this change to have an effect, WingPanel needs to be reloaded (log off & log on again).
Turn off transparency in Terminal
gsettings set org.pantheon.terminal.settings opacity 100
Reset to default
Use the gsettings reset command to restore the default value of a setting, for example to turn back on WingPanel transparency in 0.4 Loki:
gsettings reset org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel use-transparency
