Transparent Decor

Hi,

i am new to fvwm but it’s working pretty good so far … but there are still some things I can’t solve

My FVWM2 looks atm as shown here: Klick Me

So far so good, now I want that the Decor Part obve the windows (with Minimize,Maximize,Close Button) is also transparent as shown in this Screenshot

The ColorSet for the Decor is this:

Colorset 71 fg black, bg black, sh black, RootTransparent, Tint #f6f6f6 0

Am I right here to get the decor transparency - or completly wrong?

Hope that anyone can help me

Edit: Fixed Link for second screenshot

Best Regards

Search these forums for a start, and see:

(It’s question 0.3 for a reason. :P)

Thanks for the start, and I also got it to work - but just when I am not using any pixmaps in decor - When I enable the pixmaps it “overlays” the transparency or something like that …

Isn there any way to get also transparent decor with pixmaps (FAQ/Board Search didn’t help me any further)?

My Decor Part looks like this

Colorset 71 RootTransparent buffer, fg white, bg average

I finally got it working!

It was so easy that i didn’t think about that solution - Jus change the transparency of the png files :open_mouth:

So finally transparent pixmap decor:
