Alt-F2 "gnome-terminal"<BR/>1. RMB in said terminal, Untick "showmenubar"<BR/>2. Edit > Profiles > New, name it as you like<BR/>3. Check in Title, give it your saved title<BR/>4. in Effect, tick "transpoarent" and move the slider max left<BR/>5. in Scrolling, select "disabled"<BR/>6. Back to Profiles, select your new profile as default<BR/><BR/>And now, the following only applies if you are from Enlightenment16:<BR/>7. Alt-RMB, tune "window size", stacking "below", Border "borderless"<BR/>8. If needed, Alt-RMB, in Opacity, "toggle Shadows"<BR/><BR/>&& Bob's your uncle! In this terminal, start your Matrix!<BR/><BR/>I found the idea thanks to some UBUNTU dude who found how to get a terminal as background in gnome, <BR/>It was so much easier in E16 but I didn't save the bookmark...<BR/><BR/>http://blog.prashanthellina.com/2007/08/22/matrix-desktop/<BR/>http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-transparent-terminal-session-as-your-desktop-background.html<BR/>[warning: stuff for UBUNTU must be adapted to FEDORA, such as "apt-get" that becomes "yum -y <BR/>install"]<BR/>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop<BR/>[more or less the same] This UBUNTU community is incredibly dynamic.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- <BR/> <BR/>Cheers...

I've been reading posts for about 2 hours now :( .. <BR/><BR/>I can run eterm, and I can run glmatrix etc though I just dont understand how to do what you said; "Now, get it FullScreen, Borderless, StackedToBelow & use the “remember” feature so that it stays as such… And there you go…" .. do I do that in eterm? there doesn't seem to be many options to pick from in the window? ... I'm runnin Gnome+Fedora 8 btw. any help would be really appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Peace!<BR/><BR/>freezing_pete@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
