Tymestream Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I have been trying to figure out how all the users that use transparent windows on their desktops do it. I am just missing it. I have looked through superkaramba themes and windows settings but cannot figure it out - yet I know it must be fairly simple. Someone fill me in please?

arctic Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 they use X11R6.8.1 instead of XFree86. it has this imho rather useless capability. http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymestream Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 The only real reason that I was interested was because I would like to have a terminial open on the desktop all the time but not have it interfere with the background. I agree that it is not really that useful, but that is what look & feel is all about - what we want, nothing more. I have X11R6 installed, how do you make the settings so things are transparent?
