How do you make window transparent? [SOLVED]
When I open terminal, the whole window is transparent. Is there a way to setup other windows like in File Manager, Web Browser, etc... transparent? I am using Mint 9 Isadora. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a quick reply.
When I click on Settings>Window Manager Tweaks, nothing happens. Is this because I have compiz running?

Oh ! . . . . You cannot have two compositors running at the same time !
I don't use compiz (completely un-installed) , so if you want transparency with compiz , you are on your own ! good luck !

Okay. I tried stopping compiz and ran Windows Manager Tweaks and I it started. Clicked on Compositor but was unable to make windows transparent. I was able to do it on the title bar but that's about it and I already have that with compiz. I'll be more than willing to check it again just to make sure I didn't miss anything but if you know exactly where to go, I'll appreciate it. Thanks again.

I did some research on Compiz and was able to find a way to make your whole window transparent. You have to click on hold ALT and using your wheel on your mouse adjust the opacity.
Have fun!

Awesome. Thanks for the reply on how to make your windows transparent. I am using compiz and the 'ALT' middle scoll wheel did trick. Thanks!!
