FreeBSD Screen Shots

John Zorn...nice!

What terminal are you using? I tried rxvt, both normal and dev and urxvt and I can get the transparency to work, at least with i3, the terminal starts for me, then crashes after about 5 seconds. No core or messages.

:D

I'm actually using unicode-rxvt myself, and I haven't had it crash on me... ever, really :-S What settings are you using in your .Xdefaults?
 
I'm using eterm for a transparent console. It has native transparency, the ability to use a custom image as a background, and hide scrollbar through the taskbar.

Could you please post a thumbnail?

The bottom link in my post will take you to a full-sized screenshot and should serve the same purpose.

Here's a link to the background I'm using. I made it with a fractal program when I was using Windows, you're welcome to use it if you like. You just need to stretch it to fit.

The fluxbox theme is a custom too.

Here it is...but I just tried eterm and it too crashes after 2 or 3 seconds.

I've been using eterm continuously for the past month or so, with at least 2 terminals open at all times, and it hasn't crashed once.

Hmmm.... the correct commands to enable and control transparency are:

Code:
URxvt*transparent:true
URxvt*shading:30

... but since eterm is also crashing, it doesn't seem like your .Xdefaults could be the source of the problem. Have you tried rxvt-unicode, and running them under different window managers?

Nice, this looks very good as usual. Could you share this batman ascii code ? :p

My problem seems to have something to do with tiling WMs. As all the terminals work in OpenBox, but I get the crash with i3 and awesome.

In that case, I think it's something to do with the way that the WMs in question are resizing the terminals. Try the aforementioned rxvt-unicode (which, apparently, features more sophisticated resizing than rxvt) and see if that helps.

You do realize this is a FreeBSD forum?

Hello SirDice,

Yes, I do realize...

Is it forbidden to upload OpenBSD Screenshots here?
If so, my apologies...and I'll delete my post.

Usually there is no problem with uploading a screenshot of one OS in another OS forum, so I thought I could upload it here.

PS: Anyways, I just deleted, it, I don't want to cause any trouble, all that OpenBSD art doesn't fit here.
 
I don't really mind but it is a thread about "FreeBSD screenshots" on a FreeBSD forum.

A fresh build of FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 with fluxbox, Eterm, gkrellm2 and vlc on my PC. The other shots are of my laptop.
