Either that, or use Compiz and turn alpha blurring on...from the looks of it you have hardware compositing, so it should just be a matter of tweaking the setting in ccsm.

I like transparency on my Terminals, so when I am following a tutorial of some kind, I can read through it and find out what I need to type without switching windows all the time.

Am I imagining it or is everyones desktop WAY too black?
Two much black looks ugly and is kind of hard to read too.

@smeezekitty: Personally, I like the black look, but I do agree. Too much black does make it harder to read and can make it ugly. However, it makes some desktops look slick and clean if you don't use too much. I use a black based theme with a more greyish look to my windows.

Happy?

Screen size determines how I wish my Icewm to look. Big screens being too bright hurt my cornea implants.

I like cats to.

Mine is at http://images.milkme.co.uk/Screenshots/My%20Desktop. Feel free to look around my server, I have written my own gallery script in PHP - It needs more work but I'm so pleased it even works right now \o/

Btw I want to theme my xfce4, but with something nicer than the default themes it ships with. Ideas?

Check out Xfce-look.org. Also, you can create your own Xfwm themes.

Testing with animated gif file

Best I could do with LQ's file size limit.
