To get "fast" Transparent menu you should use:
Colorset 5 RootTransparent buffer, Tint black 30
^^^^^^
and use fvwm-root or Esetroot to set the root bg. This can take a lot
of memory: each "buffered" RootTransparent colorset will load a tinted
version of the root pixmap. If the transparency is not buffered the
tinted menu bg is dynamically created/destroyed, so it is "slow".
With Tinted ParentRelative Transparency we should make in addition
a screenshot of the concerned part of the root window, so this is
"very slow".
