Well me! I tried playing around with the -ip option to rxvt which says inherit parent pixmap. This essentially allows you to have semi transparent windows. Pretty cool. But the bad part is there doesn't seem to be a way to control the amount of transparency. Anybody know if that is possible?

You can try using vitrite instead: http://www.vanmiddlesworth.org/vitrite


With that you can set the transparency for *any* window in Windows (not only rxvt). You can set the transparency from 0 to 9 with just a ctrl+shift+[0-9]. really simple app, and very useful when you have a
large number of widows open at the same time.
This looks real interesting. I'll have to play with it more. Thanks for the pointer!
