How to get a console to be on desktop


Hi guys

Ive seen a couple of screenshots where the bash console is on the desktop and it is semi tranparent.I would like to know how to get the bash shell to start when kde starts and for it to be embeded into the desktop if it is possible.
Thanks

hey there,

This was one of my wishes when I was first starting out customizing my desktop. What you want to do is download eterm. Then you can look through the man pages or search here on LQ for my post back in March or April where I posted how to make it look all cool and transparent.

The basics are to launch from a terminal

eterm -options

where the options tell it to be transparent, have no scroll bars, etc
