Re: Transparent terminal window?


Aterm doens't work properly on Cygwin/XFree86. It has a problem refreshing
the screen. Whatever you type in will not be echoed until you move/resize
the window.

I got ETerm compile on Cygwin with transparent background. I couldn't get
the background image to work (because I couldn't get imlib2 compiled with
dll support, I think), but I really don't need it. I had to jump through a
lot of hoops though, and didn't get the process documented.

For what I can remember, I need to compile

edb1.0.3
freetype-1.3.1
imlib2-1.0.6

And apply the kde patch to cygwin for shared mem support, which can be found
at kde/cygwin's website.

Then I can get Eterm built.
