 |
|
HalliHallo,
I am having a nice honeymoon with my Gentoo. But friends, I will be happy if you can lemme know if a transparent frameless console is possible on my desktop. Is any such plugin available fro Karamba? Or any setting which make sucha console? This console would really help me to use desk space completely.. I saw such things in some screen shots but wondering how to do it..Please...mail me if u know 
Thanx ,
Giri |

You're probably looking for Eterm. It is used in many a screenshot. Look for themes that are frameless. e.g. smoked_glass is one of my favorites.

| wterm and aterm can both be configured to do this too, along with transparent backgrounds / tinting, and are somewhat more lightweight than eterm |

The following bit of code should be typed from a shell:
| Code: | | Eterm --geometry 125x35+8+48 -F fkp -O --tint=yellow --shade 55 --borderless --scrollbar-popup --scrollbar-floating --scrollbar no --double-buffer -a "toggles buttonbar false" |
This will create a borderless shell with eterm (tinker with the options so you get something you like).
*note: i didn't actually figure this one out, but i found it on this forum somewhere, can't remember where however. Anyhow, credit goes to the guy that posted this

You can also do it with konsole in KDE..
| Code: | | kstart --skiptaskbar --skippager --type Override "konsole --nomenubar --notoolbar --noframe --schema Transparent Konsole" |
In a regular konsole, you can modify the Transparent Konsole schema silly [/code]

Hiya!
I would say the tip by shm is a best tip I got all these days. Thanx for making me use Konsole again .. But I have a small problem
I used the following command in /user/.kde/Autostart/konsole file
| Code: |
start --skiptaskbar --skippager --type Override "konsole --geometry 555x500+0+200 --nomenubar --notoolbar --noframe --noscrollbar --schema Transparent Konsole"
|
But I gte a frame now. But when I run the same command from a Konsole, I get a transparent nkosole now! What can i do to avaoi the frame even when I autorun it on statrup? Any ideas?
Thanx again shm,
Giri |

weird.. it works for me (kde-cvs)
what do you mean by frame? the konsole frame or the window frame?
I just did
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
kstart --skiptaskbar --skippager --type Override "konsole --geometry 555x500+0+200 --nomenubar --notoolbar --noframe --noscrollbar --schema Transparent Konsole"
|
in ~/.kde/Autostart/test
[/quote][/code]

Holding Alt, you can move and window by draging it with the left mouse button and resize by using your right mouse button. To close the window you can use Ctrl+W or maybe Alt+F4. You can also type "exit" to close the window. Note that these are just generalizations that should work with most window managers, but may vary depending upon your configuration. |

| In gnome thre resize is alt + middle mouse button instead of alt+ right click. Also any terminal will exit when given an end of line. Ctrl +d is the end of line character and will close any terminal. |

Normally (if you haven't changed this in the options) when you logoff, and there was still a konsole open, kde will restart this konsole with exact the same settings as it was when you logged of.
So normally you don't need to start it from autostart. Maybe this can fix your frame problem. |

shm, if I could buy you a beer I would. That's the most kickass tip I've gotten in some time. Not for the transparent konsole, but for the kstart tip -- I had no idea it existed. Just looking at the options for it now, and this is fantastic. You learn something new everyday.
Cheers.

| Code: | | kstart: WARNING: Omitting both --window and --windowclass arguments is not recommended |

You can't set this from kstart.
You have to right-click on the title, and choose advanced->hide border (or something like that) |

It's in the settings menu, a submenu called scrollbar. |

Can gnome-terminal do this cool trick somehow too?
I didn't see any options for it in Edit Current Profile or gConf... |
