Hi all, i’ve been playing with aterm all night but i can’t find a way to make it have the transparency as my fvwm menu.
Here’s a screenshot of both, my config is one i found in this forum.
If someone could help me with this it would be great 
I searched the forms, since I don’t use aterm. By golly, I found this:
aterm -tr– Thomas Adam
It’s not possible to let aterm or any term that supports transparency to behave like the fvwm menu.
You can use pseudo transparency with the -tr (and -trsb or something) options, but you will only see tha background, not the windows hiding behind the aterm. You’ll need other programs to get true transparancy (translucent windows).
there’s a nice page about transparency on the gentoo-wiki:
gentoo-wiki.com/Xorg_X11_and_Transparency
or you can use experimental software to get accellerated X with XGL:
gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL
I also wanted a nice terminal, so I used used -fg white -bg black -tr -trsb -sh 45 +sb options or something (this is by heart)
hope this helps.
Johan
