Remember this part I sent you the other day?
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Exec Esetroot -f /usr/share/pixmaps/vpm_wp_01_1024.jpg &
+ I Exec Eterm -g 26x21+0+552 -F 5x7 -O -T XMessages -e tail -f $HOME/.X.err
That's what I use. Esetroot to set the background image and an Eterm with
the -O option (man Eterm gives an explanation).
It's really a pseudo-transparency, but it works well enough for this.
I think aterm also has a transparency option.
That reminds me, though...
I guess I should go ahead and ask the mailing list the stupid question of
How can I make this particular instance of Eterm appear with no titles?
I want the other Eterms to have the normal decorations, but I'd like THIS
instance to be NoTitle, NoHandles, etc.
-Tenebrae.
