To use the basic transparent theme, I use: Eterm -t trans (the -t means you want to tell it what theme to use.) I have also modified this theme slightly. I copied the files in the transparent theme (which I found in /usr/share/Eterm/themes) to the directory ~/.Eterm/laurel (~/ is as it means in the shell, my home directory), then trial-and-error-ly edited those files. So now, I can also do: Eterm -t laurel to use that theme. My set up and eterm could be different, however, especially since Eterm likes to change a lot between releases. _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
