Hi!

I'm trying out FVWM and can't set anything transparent. Even when I'm using the rc-files of taviso or other people, who have thos feature in their config, I'm not getting anything transparent. Do You have an idea?

This is quite a frequently asked question, try searching the forums/google before asking :)

http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/faq/#3.23

Hint: read the bit about setting wallpaper.

Yes of course. I have read the manpage, yet. But then I define a colorset transparent, it doesen't work.

Example:
Code:

*FvwmTheme: Colorset 1 fg #000000, bg #FFFFFF, Transparent

Style * colorset 1


What I am making wrong?
