what do you mean customizing the terminal? the actual terminal emulator program your using, ie appearance, etc? or do you mean the prompt?

what terminal emulator are you using? did you check their website for the documentation or a FAQ about this? i remember i changed the transparency once, it was under the 'profile' menu.
it would all depend on what program (terminal) your using and what its' features are.
