Transparant terminals

Jonatoon · 03-18-2004, 01:56 PM

Hallo. I've been watching some screenshots latly and some of them got those super-transparant terminals with no borders. I've understood it's Eterm or aterm, and I managed to get them transparant, but how can I get rid of the borders?
Like this: unix.se/gallery/windowmaker/aad

I'm using Fluxbox.

It's done with the "remember" feature in the development versions of fluxbox

...or more specifically, it's done by turning off decorations...Remember allows the setting to stick.

In my experience to make the app borderless you have to specify in your window manager's config not to add a border to a specific app. When I used to use Enlightenment I did this in E's config files. Not sure if fluxbox can do it or not, it probably can. Just have to find the right config file.

Borders (or lack thereof) are a window manager thing. The screenshots you saw were most likely done with the fluxbox wm.

Eterm can, in essence, reject borders the wm wants to draw, like xmms or gkrellm. Aterm requires having the wm do it, though, true. So Eterm+flux 0.1x=borderless and aterm+flux 0.9x=borderless. Ice has the borderless option, too, as do several wm's, I'm sure.

Thanks, got it working with ToggleDecor and ToggleTab in ~/.fluxbox/keys and the remember-function.
