I can't use compiz or the top bar disappears.

Also transparency is fucked up on Terminal.

what top bar
the window bar of the application you're using, or one of gnome's bars

why would you use transparency on your terminal

The window bar, making it a pain in the ass to move windows, close, and minimize them.

Transparency comes in use when you are reading something while using the terminal.
