Last I heard, transparent backgrounds were not possible (but this may or may not be true now, as I'm using X less and less...) But RxVT, which is an X-Term like program, will let you use a pixmap as a background image. Great way to make a totally unreadable X-Term <grin>. There are some AfterStep screenshots I have seen where a guy uses the same pixmap as his background and RxVT background, which results in an effect similar to a transparent X-Term. I suspect that's as close as you'll get. damon ======== Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Web Page: www.sub.net.au/~tr It's not a sense of humor.
