How are you try to run Eterm?
Try something like this:
Code:
Eterm -O  -f white --shade 70
to see if it works.
For more details
Code:
man Eterm
Regards

Check if you have a .Eterm/user.cfg file that overwrites your settings, or you're using the deafult theme.cfg. In anyway the config file you're using should contain something like:
Code:
begin image
    type background
    mode trans
end image
Regards

I created a config with this you post and I called "teste"
and than:

Code:
Eterm -X teste
Eterm:  Warning:  teste exists but does not contain the proper magic string (<Eterm-0.9.2>
not yet ...

The config file must contain a lot of things, not only those lines I've posted and it always starts with the version, i.e. <Eterm-0.9.2>. Anyway even though I don't use Eterm anymore in favor of mrxvt, I still have it installed. I've used the user.cfg that follows and to start it I ran:
Code:
Eterm -O --buttonbar 0 --scrollbar=on -g 100X50+30+30 -f white --shade 70 --default-font-index 3
