But xcompmgr by itself isn't enough? At least I can't get this setting to do anything in evilwm or ion3.. does openbox handle the windows differently or something?
xcompmgr is all i'm using. I don't know if openbox handles windows differently. I've never tried evilwm or ion3..
I run it like this: "xcompmgr -cC -r7 -o.65 -l-10 -t-8 -D7 &"
See if that does the trick for you.

By modifying your ~/.Xdefaults you can get pretty much anything going with a terminal like urxvt. The true transparancy requires a composite manager and a modification to the alpha channel in Xdefaults. Mine looks like this:
urxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa
Ah, I kinda guessed it was something like that.

See "man urxvt" for details on all resources available.
How did u make that title 'Openbox' above the applications menu?
And is it possible to center the words in Openbox menus?
I don't know if it's possible to center words, but all changes i've made has been done with the brilliant little app "obmenu". It's in the community repo.

It looks like there has been a slight change in the Openbox 3.4 menu syntax. You need to edit ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml according to this advice:

Openbox + pypanel + tint/ttm + xcompmgr + urxvt true transparancy. Delicious!:)

I'm so rusty with Linux. It's like starting all over again from scratch. I've been away far too long.
Yeah, I'm just using KDE at the moment. Don't have the time to be fiddling with openbox, sadly.
Could you hook it up with that wallpaper, I'd like to have it as backup
