how do you get transparent background on terminal


how do you get transparent background on terminal.

I have seen it in some of the screenshots on themes.kde.org

Here is an example

Just solved it. Go into setting, configure console then change the schema to transparent and set it as the default.

jax8, the way to get the transparent background on the Xterm is the following.

open an Xterm, then go to EDIT>> CURRENT PROFILE>> EFFECTS>> select the TRANSPARENT option. voila!
