Erm.. Help with xterm?

[Ev0lSquirrel]

Hey, I'm new here (This is my first post) and I was wondering, is there a command for xterm to make the backround transparent? I want it to look like the shell is built into my backround / desktop. Thanks in advance.


Edit: Erm, nevermind. Sorry. I figured out how to do it with aterm. Thanks anyway.

man xterm

OR if you prefer

man aterm

It shows all options available. You can use many options not just transparency but also shade (in case you use a light background for example) or setting the scrollback buffer. I prefer Eterm and use a script that launches it like so:

Eterm -O --shade 40 --resize-gravity -L 5000 --home-on-input -f rgb:00/ff/00 --color10 rgb:ff/ff/ff --color12 rgb:99/99/ff

Many options (but certainly not all) are the same no matter what terminal you like.
