fluxbox menu transparent help??

You can make your menus transparent if you are running a recent version of fluxbox (0.9.2 or above) by changing the "Menu Alpha" value in the configure menu. 255 = Opaque, 0 = Invisible (completely transparent). A value around 160 seems to satisfy most people.

where can i change menu alpha and where can i do all this stuff??

It should be in fluxbox -> configuration, or something close to that. If you don't have a config menu, run fluxbox-menu-generate (I think that's the name).

DMP: You need to use the development version in order to have transparent menus. The Stable releases are named 1.x while the development versions are named 0.9x. To install the latest development version you need to use the following:
