Greetings,

I am looking for a terminal program that will support transparency, with no title bars.

Eterm allows such features, however the transparency issue seems to be a problem when I am in OS X. It just has a blank background and will not "sync" to what is on my OS X desktop.

Anyone know of another program or a hack for OS X that will allow you ro remove the title bars/menu bar. Or a way for Eterm to work properly?

Thanks for any help.

This is a long shot, but what if you set the background-image in X using Esetroot or any similar application? I haven't tried this myself, but it might work.

Whoa, this actually works. I told Fink to install Windowmaker, knowing that there is an application called wmsetbg to set the background-image bundled with that package. Well, using that wmsetbg to set the background-image I managed to get transparency to work with xchat and I bet it'll work with Eterm as well. Give it a try!

Check out the screenshot.

Yeah I was trying that earlier, using Esetroot but was getting an IMLIB error. However, I have no problem using Esetroot while I have XFree86 open. I will have to try that, then exit Xfree86, and open Apples X11 and see what happens.

Is that what you did, or did you use Esetroot under Apples X11?

Thanks!

Yeah it is working for me now when using Esetroot. Works in Eterm. Kick ass. Thanks guy!
