I notice some people have transparent backgrounds for their terminals in fluxbox, kde, and even gnome. I think that's really cool. How can I configure rxvt background to be transparent in fluxbox?

i'm not a linux guru, but i think rxvt don't support transparency.
you can download aterm or eterm, they support transparency

i use aterm, this is the commant for aterm

Code Sample

aterm --transparent -tinttype true -tint blue -bg black -fg white -cr white

Hey Kudzu,

That is so amazing. I've downloaded and installed aterm and it works great. I haven't tried eterm, yet.

I'm not a linux guru either but I think you under estimate your knowledge. Thanks for all your help.

this makes the scrollbar also transparent and you can change transparency level (75 means 75% transparent)
i want to figure out how to get rid of the window title and borders (like http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/zoom.ph....box.jpg ) and make fluxbox menu transparent (like http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/zoom.ph....ox2.jpg )

Code Sample

aterm -trsb -sh 75 -tr -tinttype true -tint green -fg white -bg black -cr white
