I cant’ get my title bar Icon pixman to have a trasparent background

I set up a “Colorset 24 RootTransparent fg rgb:ff/ff/c4, bg darkgray”

I also setup a MyDecor with

  • TitleStyle Colorset 24
  • ButtonStyle ALL – UseTitleStyle

this should have given me transparent background for my title bar pixmaps
but it didn’t any help would be great.

also looking for help Changing my font color for my menu with the transparent menu - right now it is black I would like a light green to make it more visible.

Basic guide

To start aterm with transparency setting, you have to open an xterm and type “aterm -tr” there.

is there any possibility to have instant transparent terminal?

when you edit your menu, add a line like this:

+ I "aterm" Exec exec aterm -tr

you can add other stuf like -trsb and -sh X. Read ‘man aterm’ for more info (its really easy).
