xterm in windowmaker

[sheek]

How do i make xterm or rxvt transparent in windowmaker guys ?

You don't. You use aterm, or gnome-terminal, if you want a transparent background.

Edited:
Oops, just noticed rxvt DOES support transparent backgrounds. For rxvt you need to make or edit the ~/.Xdefaults file and place a line in it:
Rxvt*inheritPixmap: true

Then you need to load this file by executing
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
when your X starts.
You place that line in .xinitrc (before the line that executes your window-manager) if you run startx, and you place it in .xsession (before the line that executes your window-manager, again) if you're running xdm, or one of it's brethren.

For more info, type "man rxvt" and scroll down to the RESOURCES section. (Goes easily if you type '/' to enter search-mode, followed by 'RESOURCES')
