I'm a long time Emacs user but never really created any advanced emacs-lisp. Good ideas, I will check those programs. Maybe I am mistaken, but isn't Eterm using fake transparency? Or has it been updated/rewritten in the mean time? Since you use cairo-compmgr for composite anyways, can't you make any window transparent? Ruben -- Sawfish ML
