Re: Best Transparent Terminal

Evilvte is actually pretty nice. To enable transparency and other stuff one has change the header file and recompile. This VTE terminal is very customizable.

I'm an urxvtc user myself.

Re: Best Transparent Terminal

I know it's not quite what you wanted, but Eterm has nice pseudo transparency, it's also highly themable, but it doesn't (last time I used it) do tabbing by default.  It also can draw backgrounds for fluxbox!  (which is why I have it)

To enable tabbing you have to compile with support for for an extension which integrates an interface with twin and gnu-screen, which I haven't really played around with, but supposedly also provides some extra functionality.

Re: Best Transparent Terminal

I have put some info on the wiki about starting xterm with transparency in openbox. The scripts allow you to start xterm with a given transparency level, without having to run transset-df after xterm has started.

This also works very nicely in pcmanfm, because opening a transparent terminal allows you to see through to the filenames you need to type in!

There is still a question of naming the xterm back to xterm - can someone help?
