I've set urxvt's depth to 32 and the color to rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd. This results in a terminal with true transparency under Openbox. However, with Fluxbox, there is no transparency at all, and I can't figure out why.
Xcompmgr is definitely running, I have shadows and fades. I can even get transparency across the whole window with transset-df.
The correct resources for urxvt are set, I can confirm with `xrdb -query`.
No idea what's causing this Any help appreciated.

Apparently the window manager needs to support 32-bit visuals, which Fluxbox doesn't. There is an experimental branch for this, but that doesn't build properly.
EDIT: The developer of the 32-bit visuals branch merged latest upstream development Here is the package I made from it: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31183
His git is here: http://git.fluxbox.org/?p=fluxbox_lack. … log;h=argb

I was able to get the fluxbox_lack branche compiling. I also need 32 bit visual support in fluxbox, working with gentoo x86_64 and fluxbox stable and trunk version.
Here you can read how:

I tried to get avant-window-manager or cairo-dock working with fluxbox, but with or without fluxbox_lack the docks still choose pseudo transparency. They also need 32 bit visuals, but fluxbox_lack does not solve my problem.
Does ist work for you?
btw: tool are great

I've URxvt and fluxbox, I can make it transparent, but no "real" transparency, it shows only the wallpaper.
In my .Xdefaults : URxvt.shading: 01 !trans=100, 0=opaque

So, it does not work at all?!? Are there future plans to support 32 bit visuals in fluxbox?

I've since become annoyed with Fluxbox and have switched to AwesomeWM, sorry
Lack's branch should still compile fine and work with at least urxvt, I never tried a dock or anything.
@Cr0k: That's not the correct way to set true transparency, you've enabled fake transparency. You need something like the following -- and also, you're running xcompmgr, right?
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
@knecht: Ask on their IRC. Lack has a 32-bit visuals branch that works great for at least a transparent terminal.

Hello.
On AUR, there is "fluxbox-git-32trans". I've installed it, it works great !
But after minutes, my fluxbox is "fixed", nothing can move, without my cursor. So I've to kill fluxbox and restart it.
Anyone has the same problem, or am I the only ?
