I'm pretty sure it's suposed to be a zero as opposed to an o

Code: Select all

 Eterm -0

also be sure to set your background with Esetroot

And what should I fill in to make it work??

With an 0 ( zero ) just the same

Try CTRL + Right click'ing on the Eterm and select Background -> Toggle Transparency.

Hope that helps =)

You have to set your background using Esetroot wallpaper_path

You'll see there's a borderless 0
set that to 1 if you want to try without borders, really nice

you can play around with colormod image to shade the background image the way you want

hey Zyklon, your theme is really cool!!
how do i set hotkeys for things like - managing the window (shading it, iconifying it), Changing the font size, Changing the darkness on the transparency (it'd be really slick if i could ctrl-wheelmouse to shange the transparency!!)

Go to your home dir and there edit .fluxbox/init. You have to edit the line that starts with session.screen0.rootCommand:. This is how it looks on my machine:

Code: Select all

session.screen0.rootCommand:    Esetroot -f /home/sawo/TechMeHoff_v2.jpg

Thank you but I have still some questions:

Can I change my background of Fluxbox to the background of the /home dir ?? How do I do that ( I'm just a newbie ) ? Because in Fluxbox I see a lot of themes ( where can I find them?? )

You wrote : Go to your home dir and there edit .fluxbox/init.

I don't have this file ????

Thanks in advance
