Hi Noorul :) I love my E, I really DO :) Some of the screenshots there are really old... It was already possible! Theme is my favorite, the ever-standard "winter" that looks so right with the subtle, thin/fast windows of E16. Transparency is now coming to full windows thanks to the new Compositor (from 0.16.8.xx onwards I think), it allows you to fine tune from 100 to 0%; rmb-click, jump to Composite Settings :) I love my default 97% of opacity rather than 100, it enlights (pun intended) the whole desktop. Add the ability of the Terminal not to display it"s background, and you reach compiz-level of graphic complexities with true transparencies on system that boots in 2.5 secs. I even tweaked t§he orientation of the shadows, it took me a good 35 seconds to find them in a text file at the root of ~/.e16 & start tweaking! About this Transparent terminal, here is what I said yesterday on the Linux Facebook group about, replying to quite the same question: "" http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linux/13932695724?ref=mf#/photo.php?pid=30182042&op=1&o=all&view=all&subj=13932695724&aid=-1&oid=13932695724&id=1154962303 "" Tropicalicecube Phnompenh at 10:00, on 05 February As such, running a Transparent, PlainScreen Terminal with no menus or ScrollBars is easy; running it on top of Enlightenment DR16 gives you the opportunity to run it over a really sleek desk, to have it to start with every session in this exact way, and to stick to a Below stack so to be a real "background" terminal. The box on the right is my virtual desktops navigator (like 9 'screens'); the left handle deploys a systray, the right one pops a little programme launcher. Neat, neat, neat. Most Linux Distributions ship Enlightenment DR16 - you need e16-0.16.8, not 0.16.999-something which is e17, very different.

"" Then, the ZEN aspects are up to you - i have only a systray, the sole epplet is the e-exec box; with the autostart of some terminals and the binding of xterm, everything is a breeze. This runs on slackware12.2, but I just copied it from my former Fedora7 last month.
