 Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 5:16 am Post subject: Pseudotransparency Issue |
 |
|
I have been attempting to get up transparent/shaded terminals using aterm or urxvt. I set my background with both feh and Esetroot, but the result is the same. A call to aterm -tr results in this. If I were to move the window, or type clear it all goes white. Another window covered the terminal for a moment, creating the big white box shown. Shading is just plain not working.
This is rather frustrating, and I have no idea what the problem is. |

| Code: |
aterm -tr -sh 70 +sb

Well, you could try using mrxvt instead of aterm, this is my configuration for mrxvt which among other things configures pseudo transparency and Xft antialiased fonts which not everyone might like, this goes into ~/.Xdefaults, loaded with "xrdb -nocpp < ~/.Xdefaults":
| Code: | mrxvt*initTermNumber: 1
mrxvt*protectSecondary: true
mrxvt*loginShell: true
mrxvt*scrollBar: true
mrxvt*scrollBar_right: true

| The Xft information is useful, but moving to another terminal isn't my goal. I would like to solve whatever is wrong with my system. |
