 Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2009 9:54 am Post subject: {SOLVED} aterm / xterm as background - kde 3.5 |
 |
|
I recall long ago that I had configured kde to start up with a border-less transparent terminal that stayed in / as the background. I used it to tail the master log file. I don't think it was interactive. I know it could not be moved, it had to be placed by manual config...
anyone seen / have this, or remember what it was? I have googled (probably for the wrong thing) be cause now I ask here!
Thanks!

I do not think that is what it was, but the end result looks similar! I remember getting it to work was a huge P-I-T-A, lots of config... this look much simpler...
Thanks! |
