I'm having a strange problem with menu transparency on my dual monitor Fluxbox setup. On one screen (Screen1 according to XF86Config) the menu transparency looks to be what I set it to (150), however, on my other screen (Screen0 in FX86Config) the menu is not transparent at all. Even if I make the changes by using the menu on screen0, I still can't get both monitors to take effect.

Here is my .fluxbox/init
Code:

session.screen0.tab.rotatevertical:   True
session.screen0.tab.width:   64
session.screen0.tab.placement:   Top

And here is the display portion of my FX86Config
Code:

# **********************************************************************

    Identifier  "GFXT-0"
    VendorName "nvidia"

    Screen 0 "Screen-0"

    InputDevice "Intellimouse" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
   
    Option "OffTime" "15"
EndSection



Please note that all other transparency works on both screens (aterm, xchat, xmms), it is only the menu that decieves me. Thanks for your help.

After reading endless posts about other forms of transparency, I finally solved my problem. It was due to the fact that I was telling fbsetbg to tile my wallpaper, so that the image would be on both monitors, unstrethced. By turning this off, menu transparency for both monitors works great! Now if I want a background and don't want it skewed, I just create an image in GIMP that is 3200x1200, and double the image over. I hope this solution helps someone else!
