Backgound for the xterm question.

I use Xterm and wanted to know how to make the background color of the xterm transparent.
Is there a .config file for the xterm?  If there is how do i set the background color to transparent?

as "YithianHistorian" said, it is called "rxvt-unicode" but when you want to run it then you will use command "urxvt". i do not use Xterm, although it is possible to have transparency in  Xterm but "man xterm" says folks do not like this feature and hence do not support  it. i use "urxvt" all the time, it has may more features BUT transparency will make your urxvt slower to respond to actions.
BTW, your question does not belong to the forums or mailing lists. you could have gotten your answer just by using Google. i had the same question 1 month ago when i started to use Window Managers and was looking for the replacement of gnome-terminal. i always got an urge but never posted this to forums/mailing-lists. i just used Google and found what i wanted in just 1 hour.
make sure you always do this before posting:
1.) Google for "your keyword" (in your case "xterm alternative/transparency")
2.) search forums:  Arch forums, Linuxquestions.org, Linuxforums.org, Debianforums.net etc
3.) search for 2 days
4.) now if you do not get anything, then post it here. (it will always be 2 days before you get any answer, unless you are lucky enough :-)

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
    For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
    Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
    Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
    In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
    Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
    Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
    You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
    Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
    Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
    That's it. Best of luck.

  • Sorry for the dumb question...

    Sorry for the dumb question but I've never used two hard drives on a mac. On my second installed hard drive on my new Mac Pro, I can not create a new folder (the option is greyed out). What do I do?

    Try this:
    Right click (or ctrl-click) and select "Get Info"
    On the bottom, under "Ownership & Permissions", make sure that the pull down menu next to "You can" says "Read & Write".
    Under details, you can make your username the owner of the disk, with the same access.
    You can also click the "Ignore ownership on this volume" if you don't want any of those types of permissions.
    HTH!
