How to make use of transset to make translucent windows ??
transset 0.5is not working, not giving any transparency to the window …
I just now installed transset-df
and try : transset-df 0.5
not working still …
hmm
I entered : write “/usr/bin/transset-df -p -t 0.3” as parameter.
and nothg happens
I guess I am not running the xcompmgr …
(how to?)
Thank you for your help !!

well without starting the xcompmgr neither transset nor transset-df will do anything :D
just open a xterm and write something like
xcompmgr -cCfF -r 8 -t -5 -l -11 -o .8 -D 6 (i just copied this from the xinitrc from gulivert you should experiment a bit with the options)
then you can start transset 0.5 and click on the window which you want to be translucent
No composite extension…
I think that was the problem in my xorg… we’ll see 
Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
EndSection
what kind of driver for your graphics card do you use ??
composite just works with the closed drivers from Nvidia ans ATI ?!
On this computer I have an ati all in wonder
I just added right now the xcomposite stuffs and it worked !!
Thank you for the information and not being unpleasant against linux-newbies in this forum !!
It worked, with :
1/ adding the 3 lines to the xorg
2/ then, in xterm, xcompmgr -c
3// then, transset-df -d 0.3
works
It’s taking too much resources of my non-installed yet ati card
I’ll try to do so now
Also, the TAVISO type Autohidden console is then not working with
xcompmgr … hmm
(if you have an msn messenger, let me know… )
