There are several terms that will do this, although xterm is not one of them. Rxvt, aterm, wterm, xiterm, and eterm will do it. Probably some more, too. Some of these do transparency by default, others allow a compiletime option. Or they may not support a color tint with the transparency. If you have rxvt installed, try running it with rxvt -ip. -- David S. Jackson dsj@dsj.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I could dance with you till the cows come home.
