Making my aterm traslucent

Hi, i use aterm a lot, and i like traslucent windows, the problem is that if i run

aterm -tr

My aterm is 100% traslucent, and with the background im using, i cant see the letters.
So i want to know if there is a way to get a semi-traslucent effect on my aterm, and how to do it.
It sound stupid but i cant figure it out big_smile

Re: Making my aterm traslucent

aterm -tr -sh 60       


-sh amount
              This  option  allows  for darkening/lightening of the background
              image amount is the %value of the desired brightness, where  100
              is  the  original.   if  amount is less then 100 - image will be
              darkened.  if amount is less then 0 or more  then  100  -  image
              will  be  lightened.   Lightening can cause some strange looking
              effects if applied on bright image.  This option causes aterm to
              create  shaded/lightened copy of the background - it's more mem-
              ory cosuming as the result. It does not  make  much  difference,
              though,   if   applied  on  non  transparent  background  image.
              resource shading.


this is how I have mine set up, pulled this info straight from aterm's man page.

Our own wiki has a section of sample settings for aterm. smile http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults
