tanslucent colored terminal?
 

how can I make my terminal translucent and colored like red but partly see through?

When you open a konsole(in KDE), select settings, configure konsole, schema then scroll down to 'transparent'(click it) then check the box just below it "set as default schema'. Click 'apply' and 'ok' .
Close the konsole. Next time you open it, it will be transparent.

im using gnome and I can make it translucent but I want it red translucent

Download aterm and when you run it use the following switches:

aterm -tr -tint red

In Gnome, go to setting's, preference's, click on transparent. Not to sure about color though.

Go to settings on the konsole, and then to Configure Konsole & select (shade to) you can make it any colour you like.

im not using KDE

do what Crashed_Again said

what are you using?

gnome,redhat 7.3

aterm doesnt work since I dont have gcc and cc installed I cant install from source...

i am not sure but i think u can access konsole in gnome, just type it there.

konsole can let u customize the opacity and color of your translucent windowed console, make sure u take a look at the configure konsole menu

You want aterm for that. Don't use konsole just to get coloured AND transparent terminals, it will drag in a huge number of libraries and processes that you don't need.

and man, save yourself alot of time and agony and install gcc and glibc every time you install linux, even if your not a developer

glibc is always installed on every Linux, it's needed for applications to function.

umm yeah I have glibc I dont have gcc can I get an rpm and install it?

yeah im not too worried about the terminal issue anymore...
