Hi,
Which transparent terminal is favoured on open 10. I had been running wterm on 9.1 for some time but it seems to have been replaced.
With X.org 6.8.x and KDE since 3.4.x you can make whole parts of KDE transparent. But this is very resource-consuming. At my old notebook (P III@1000 MHz w. 384 MB Ram) KDE is nearly unusable with it. You can set this feature in the control-center, under "Desktop/Window-Behaviour", and then go to the tab "Translucency". You have to change also the xorg.conf in section "Extensions", but i didnt recall the right entry now. Maybe someone else can remember it. After this and a new start of your X-Environment you can change the view of nearly all windows and programs in KDE with different shadows, translucencies, effects and so on. And this transparency is real, i.e. you can look at a dynamic webpage in your browser behind your transparent terminal. regards, Jens
