Hi!

I'm using fluxbox, and I was able to download and install aterm successfully.

I can open a terminal using:

aterm -fg yellow -tr

The transparency seems to be working fine.

Two specific questions:

#1) How can I make it so my terminals and windows will always open this way?

#2) How can I make the fluxbox menus transparent as well? I've tried changing the menu alpha thingy, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help!! (I'm a total n00b at this fluxbox stuff - so I apologize if these questions are trivial - I tried searching the forums and trying lots of things - but have had no luck)

Cheers.

How do you start aterm? Through a "run" like window? From another terminal? From Fluxbox menu? Keyboard shortcut?. Because on either case, you could simply place the hole syntax on it:

aterm -tr -sh 50 -fg green -fn10x20 -geometry 85x40

though, if you want, you could create an executable called "aterm2", which should also work. Here is an example. Do this as root:

touch aterm2

that will create a "program" called aterm2.

echo "aterm aterm -tr -sh 50 -fg green -fn10x20 -geometry 85x40" >> aterm2

that would place the hole syntax inside the "aterm2" program. Now make it executable:

chmod +x aterm2

and move it to /usr/bin:

mv aterm2 /usr/bin

Now, whatever you did to call aterm before, call aterm2 instead. That would work....

Regards!

OK, I've got it working so that my terminal opens the way I want each time (using the fluxbox menu).

Now, I just need to know how to get the fluxbox menus themselves to be transparent. It seems that for some styles they are transparent, and some they are not.

Any suggestions on this??

Thanks.
