E transparency

[Matches Malone]

Can anyone help me get transparent windows using E?

Use Eterm. Check the man page for it. Generally it's Eterm --trans but there are more options available to you including shading, coloring, etc.

Thanks X !!! I'll check that out ASAP :)

Eterm -O --cmod 96 will produce a nice transparent tinted term. the "-O" is an oh..not a zero.

the "96" defines how much tinting to apply. the lower the number, the darker the tint.

Hey guys? I finally got around to tryin that, and neither command works cause it says ETERM: Command not found???

It's a stock e install from Mandrake 8.1 3 CD downloadable set...

Um wait, did you type ETERM or Eterm? It should be Eterm. If that was the case, it should be on one of your CDs, install it from there.

I typed Eterm... and shouldn't it have installed with Enlightenment???

A previous issue I have WILL prevent me from installing anything more from the cds :(

It isn't necessarily installed by default. Anyway, if you can't get it off the CD, you can get it from Mandrake's ftp site or from rpmfind.net.
