9/7 On the http://www.afterstep.org page there's this screenshot of
top running in a semi-transparent window. Does anyone know
anything about that program and where to get it?
\_ The Enlightenment window manager does the same thing... I think
it's part of the window manager, not that particular version of
top. See http://www.enlightenment.org for more example shots. -mogul, who
has never used either of them
\_ I would think it would be neither top nor the window manager
doing this, but the terminal emulator program (xterm clone?)
that does the transparency. -ERic
\_ Upon looking at the http://enlightenment.org page, it looks more to
me like they have an xterm-like program that they can load
images into the background of. I don't know what it is, but
it looks pretty nifty!
\_ X Servers that provide psuedo-color overlay planes usually
provide a transparent index. so standard xterm w/ the right
background color setting would do the trick? or is it
actually doing alpha-blending rather than overlay? --karlcz
\_ It's called eterm.
\_ is there an url for eterm?
\_ check out http://www.tcserv.com --ERic
\_ ETerm is a nifty concept, but it sucks to configure,
is slow, and you need 24 bit or higher to make the
backgrounds look even decent, for some reason --dbushong
\_ it's not transparent. it's got a backgroudn. mail genehkan@xcf
or myself if you want to learn how to make windows transparent. -ali
\_ because nobody else would know how to do it :P |
