Just don't know how they did it!

Perusin' themes screenshots revealed to me that many users were able to view their logs in a separate window. Is there a command that I have to execute at the term, so as to have it completely transparent also? Btw, I'm using bbox, and mainly Eterm.

Well, in Blackbox to have a transparent Eterm, first you need to use Esetroot to set your back ground image:

Esetroot -f /home/mangeli/.blackbox/Backgrounds/minted.png

That sets the image minted.png in my BB backgrounds folder as the back ground.

then issue the command (you can add it to the menu)


Eterm -g 100x50+0+0 -x --trans


To put it in your menu:

[exec] (eterm) {Eterm -g 100x50+0+0 -x --trans}


Now, if you want to have it shaded, you need to figure that out. (RTFM)

To view the logs:

tail -f /var/log/messages

Prints the running tally of messages coming in to the box. If you have apache installed...

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/access.log

would do the same with your apache access logs....
