Note that none of them are really transparent. They only copy the respective part of the root window into their background. If you have overlapping windows, the result is somewhat jarring. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
