clear terminal in kde2.1 (maybe Eterm?)

[mandreko]

i know you can get Eterm to run transparent when you run Enlightenment, but my current machine just has KDE 2.1 (redhat 7.1 beta). Is there a way to get Eterm to go transparent in it? or is there another terminal that can go clear? hopefully with a tint?

Ummm...there isn't a transparency toggle in the Eterm menu?

but it always seems to not work because i'm not running englightenment... i'm running kde2.1

Put this script in your Autostart folder.


#!/bin/bash
# Esetroot for transparent Eterm
Esetroot -f `grep "^Wallpaper=" $HOME/.kde/share/config/desktop0rc | sed -e 's/Wallpaper=//'`


The -f switch can be changed, read the man page on esetroot, you'll figure it out. This works on RH 6.1 & 6.2 I cant speak for RH 7. #!/bin/bash

I used to think I was paranoid till I figured out that everyone was out to get me
