Transparency with aterm under fluxbox

Fusi · 09-02-2007, 03:59 PM

hey ho

I'm using fluxbox and just searched for a terminal emulator with transperancy. I chose aterm and it works fine with the "-tr" option.
But if I enable shading with "aterm -tr -sh 50" or another value for "-sh" the background is just black. I can't explain this behaviour, so I think it's a bug.
Is there anyone with a solution for me?
thanks

What are you using to set the background, feh Esetroot?

Try something like

Code:

aterm -tr -sh -50

or

Code:

aterm -tr -sh -60

Code:

aterm -tr -sh -100

You get the idea.

i tried nearly every variation :/

EDIT: the only thing that works is "aterm -tr -sh 100" (full transperancy)

you have to install "feh" or another application mentioned above. These programs have git the task to set your background image.
just have a look at

for further information

comprookie2000: how did you create these nice bubbles on top of the screen?
