How do i get transparent windows

[MandrakeNube22]

Hello all, i just installed my mandrake 10.1 last week and i was wondering how i can make my windows become transparent. I know how to make the panle transparent but i looked at some screen shots and they had transparent windos. It looked cool and i was wondering how i can do it.



Please write back

Thanks

I believe one must update to KDE 3.3, for Mdk 10.1 comes with 3.2

Side note: 10.2 will be done in April-ish which will have 3.3.2, and when that happens you could update using urpm.

I may be wrong but I think window transparency is application-specific, meaning only certain windows can be transparent. KDE 3.3 may have a feature that allows you to make any window transparent, but I haven't seen that.

Can you give us a link to the screenshots you're talking about so we can see what apps are transparent?

to be able to have very nice transparency on every windows including taskbar, update your URPM database with this how to

after, as root type superkaramba

Yep, Superkaramba is the program you need.

Dude, you may not need KDE 3.3 to get transparency like that. Go to KDE Control Center and under look n feel, there's a section for the menu bar/task bar/ panel. In one of those, you can set the transparency. It only works with certain themes.

As for Konsole, you can set the transparency in the settings drop down menu.

The other things there are superkaramba, that runs fine on KDE 3.2.

As said by Jeremy, And as said by me a little earlier, KDE 3.3, I do not have an my desktop is uncluding transparency, superkaramba is an RPM included in the "contrib" of mandrake... there absolutly no pain in installing it.
