Transparent terminal in background
Does anyone know what program(s) i need to have the output of a terminal actually as part of the desktop background. I'm not talking about transparent terminal windows.... i've seen actual terminal outputs as part of the desktop background as it scrolls through code etc... looks cool. anyone, any ideas?
i have superkaramba but have not seen any themes which do this.... heres a link to a screen shot.... http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?scre...effd4&p=screen they say they use eterm in this one but i can see how they integrated it into the background |
Take a look at:

Which Window Manager are you using?
|
The description on the bottom of the page says it is Eterm. I personally like to use aterm, but both support transparent windows.

Am using KDE 3.2 at the mo....

Can i ask you guys a quick question? i cant seem to get cut and paste to work on either Eterm or Konsole.... i have to actually use the menu bar and click cut or paste..... the ctrl+c/v options dont work......this is annoying especially in the transparent Eterm where there is no menu bar! is there any way to turn this on? also if i cant cut and paste does anyone know how i can at least save any text output to a file ? i heard something to do with pipes but am a newbie

If your mouse has a mouse wheel try clicking the middle button, if it doesn't turn on 3 button emulation(ie you click both buttons to represent a click on the 3rd button)
To save output you use '>' to redirect the output to a file, eg Code:
ls > myfilelist |
Can anyone tell me what the player is in the bottom corner of that 1st screenshot, i have seen it a few times but cant seem to find what it is.

Hmmm, all i get when i middle click is pasting the last thing i copied into the terminal window. Is there something i'm doing wrong?
|
when you copy, don't use ctrl-c, instead just highlight the portion of the text you want to copy, these text gets stored in the buffer you can then middle click to paste.

Wow, you're right! Cool feature.....! Cheers for the help!
