a screenshot would be most helpful, assuming you have a place to put
them and provide a link (as it's not too nice to post large images to a
mailing list of this size). you can either use the gimp
(acquire->screenshot), or use the 'import' cmdline tool that comes with
imagemagick. just type 'import filename', and then you can click on
the window that you want to take a shot of. if you want to take a full
screen shot, i believe 'import -window root filename' is what you want.

Terminal

hello there!!! I need some help. I´ve tried everything I could and I also had a look at the help but I couldn´t find a way to make the xfce terminal transparent. So, I ask you: Is there a possibility to make the xfce terminal transparent. Thanks _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@xxxxxxxx http://lunar-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org

Re: minor settings problems

xfwm4 was not updated yet: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xfwm4&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all Well...I guess I'll have to wait... Concerning the "gradient" stuff again...I've just downloaded some wallpapers from internet and they looked perfect on Mozilla-Firefox, but when they appear as wallpaper indeed, its definition was somehow screwed, as the default wallpaper was... (I could take a screenshot so you guys understand what I mean, but have no clue how to do this) Any idea on this? >On Wed, 28 Apr 2004, Felipe Lopes wrote: > >> xfce4-mcs-manager and xfce4-panel are version 4.0.5 on >> repositories....Should I install these??? >> >> Check it out: >> >http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xfce4&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all > >> >> Is there any other file I should get? > >you'll also want 4.0.5 versions of xfwm4, xfwm4-themes (optional), >xfdesktop, xffm (if you use xffm), xfprint (optional). also make sure >you have the latest versions of the libraries >(libxfce{4util,gui4,4mcs}). last time i checked, i _thought_ debian had >an 'xfce4' meta-package that installs/updates all of xfce4. i might be >thinking of something else though. > >it bothers me that some of those packages listed are 4.0.5 and some are >4.0.3. i suppose it's possible that our 4.0.5 release of some of the >components haven't changed since 4.0.3. not sure. > > -brian > >_______________________________________________ >Xfce mailing list >Xfce@xxxxxxxx >http://lunar-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce >http://www.xfce.org > >---------- Felipe Lopes. _________________________________________________________ Voce quer um iGMail protegido contra vírus e spams?
