There's no thing such a transparent xterm window. What you see in so much screen dump is a hacked version of rxvt who support pixmap background. Correctly placed, it really gives the illusion of transparency. Eterm is one of this kind and is available from frozen I think (or is it unstable?). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fabien Ninoles Running Debian/GNU Linux E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebPage: http://www.callisto.si.usherb.ca/~94246757 WorkStation [available when connected!]: http://nightbird.tzone.org/ RSA PGP KEY [E3723845]: 1C C1 4F A6 EE E5 4D 99 4F 80 2D 2D 1F 85 C1 70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
