Aterm doens't work properly on Cygwin/XFree86. It has a problem refreshing the screen. Whatever you type in will not be echoed until you move/resize the window.
I got ETerm compile on Cygwin with transparent background. I couldn't get the background image to work (because I couldn't get imlib2 compiled with dll support, I think), but I really don't need it. I had to jump through a lot of hoops though, and didn't get the process documented. For what I can remember, I need to compile edb1.0.3 freetype-1.3.1 imlib2-1.0.6 And apply the kde patch to cygwin for shared mem support, which can be found at kde/cygwin's website. Then I can get Eterm built. -Simon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Biju G C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 5:26 PM Subject: Re: Transparent terminal window? > I have not seen any binary avialable on cygwin > try to compile > http://aterm.sourceforge.net/ > > for more screenshots > http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/ > > cheers > biju > CyGNOME = Cygwin + GNOME http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/ > --- Jean-Claude Gervais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm running WindowMaker, and I was wondering; does anyone know how to get > > transparent terminal windows? > > > > Can you do it with stock Cygwin-XFree or do you have to download and > > compile a specific terminal emulator? > > > > Thanks in advance. > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
