Can't make urxvt transparent under Fluxbox

I've set urxvt's depth to 32 and the color to rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd. This results in a terminal with true transparency under Openbox. However, with Fluxbox, there is no transparency at all, and I can't figure out why.
Xcompmgr is definitely running, I have shadows and fades. I can even get transparency across the whole window with transset-df.
The correct resources for urxvt are set, I can confirm with `xrdb -query`.
No idea what's causing this Any help appreciated.

I've since become annoyed with Fluxbox and have switched to AwesomeWM, sorry
Lack's branch should still compile fine and work with at least urxvt, I never tried a dock or anything.
@Cr0k: That's not the correct way to set true transparency, you've enabled fake transparency. You need something like the following -- and also, you're running xcompmgr, right?
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
@knecht: Ask on their IRC. Lack has a 32-bit visuals branch that works great for at least a transparent terminal.

How can i make a Transparent background in flash

I'm developing a web page for a small business I'm new to
flash, I have been trying to learn flash for a vary long time and
only recently had the time and resources to do it. I have
secsessfuly made the menu and actions to work how i wanted them to
so when you hover over the butten a drop down menu apears however
my problem is when i export this to the web page a white background
is present. i need it to be transparent so you can see the web page
under the flash menu. how can i obtain this effect?

In your publish settings, under the HTML tab is a dropdown
under "Window Mode". Select Transparent Windowless and hit publish.
It will generate all the needed code to do what you ask, copy that
and insert it into your desired page.
Basically learn from the flash generated example, its
properties in the embed code that have it set to "transparent".
Take a look at the source code on to see a live example.

How can I make images transparent in my documents?

I've got InDesign CS5.5 and like to save my banners, etc. that I create as a jpeg but when I try to use them on something else it has a white background. How can I make sure the backgrounds are transparent?

I didn't know that about the png in CS6. Thanks for letting me know.
Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop. I just recently purchased Photoshop Elements. I haven't really done much on it as I have other projects I need to work on. Do you know if I would be able to convert in that program?
Wish I could afford a newer version of InDesign but I can't.

Can you make a "transparent" color?

Like, instead of Color.RED, Color.BLACK, etc... can you make that color 100% transparent? If so, how would you do that?

How can I make a transparent animated gif?

I'm using CS2. I have an animated gif that I want to take the black background out of so that the animated part of it is all that remains.
Here is a link to the image:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/tragicmike/random/Tesseract.gif
I basically want to remove all of the black background from the image so that the animated tesseract is all that remains. I know how to open the gif to expose the layers using ImaegeReady, then edit them in PhotoShop. But when I made the black areas of each layer transparent (by selecting the RGB channel, inverting the selection, and hitting delete), saved a copy, and tried viewing it, it seems to just display all of the transparent layers constantly instead of cycling through them.
Can someone please help me figure out how to make an animated gif with a transparent background? If I lose some of the black areas of the animated part (since they seem to get deleted when I remove all of the black background) it's no big deal. I just need to know how to do this so that it plays correctly.
Thank you!!!
Mike

"I have to wonder why the black background was included on every frame of the moving shape."
 
 Well, George...the only reason I can think of is because it's an animated GIF, and GIFs only support one layer.
 
 Whatever application it was created in should have been able to render it out with a transparent BG. But I suppose the creator had his/her reasons for going with the black BG.
 
 (Full disclosure: I ran across
<s>that same</s> a similar animation back in December, and the version I grabbed only had the black showing through the inside of the tesseract. I opened it in ImageReady and

added
 a black BG so the edges didn't look jaggedy.)

How can I make grunge transparent?

I am very new to Illustrator but have had a little experience creating artwork in Photoshop. In Photoshop, I created a t-shirt design where I used the eraser tool with a grunge brush to erase color in spots so that the color of the shirt was visible within the design where I erased. I am working on a new t-shirt design in Illustrator where I would also like to have this look, but the eraser tool doesn't seem to work the same in Illustrator as I am not able to select a variety brushes. Is there a way to add transparent grunge to a shape in Illustrator? I hope this makes sense...

Hi Cheryl, I am hoping you won't mind helping me out again. Like I said I am a complete newby and really only do this kind of artwork for a charitable beer festival I am in charge of organizing. This is the first year I am trying to use Illustrator instead of Photoshop, both of which are amazing programs.
I found a tutorial called Grunge Construction, by Gilles Landy, which is a very good tutorial and I believe is about the same process as you suggested. It seem to be exactly what I want to do, and I have tried to follow all the steps exactly as it says, but I can't get it to work for me. The funny thing is, the first time I tried to make grunge on a simple practice shape, it worked, but I haven't been able to get it to work since and I've tried like 8 or 10 times (even with just a simple shape).
There are a couple of steps that I'm not sure about, so I must have just gotten lucky the first time I tried. Here is a link to the tutorial with the steps I took and below are the questions I have.http://http://www.istockphoto.com/article_view.php?ID=127
All my questions are concerning the Illustrator portion of the tutorial in Step 4:
1. Step 4 says to "combine the two images." So does that mean to open my logo and bring my grunge image into my file by using the "place" command? Is that the appropriate way, and do I place it in its own layer or do I place it on the same layer along with all my grouped objects (I have a number of layers to my logo). Also, is it safe to assume that the grunge should be placed on top of my grouped logo objects?
2. Also, it says to "Select the image and go to select > arrange> send to back. Do you think it means to select my grunge image or my logo group? I think it means my logo group, but assuming my grunge texture is already on top, wouldn't the logo group already be in the back???
3. I tried to select both the logo group and and the grunge to use the Minus Front in the Pathfinder palette, but I'm doing something wrong, because I don't get the grunge knock out, most of my logo gets completely gone.
I hope I don't sound too ignorant, but I feel I am very close to getting this. There is just something I am either missing or not doing correctly. If you can clarify it for me or would do things differently I would sure appreciate your expertise. Keep in mind I need some detail, though.
Thank you!

I can't make a transparent background...

I have a text logo on a white background and need to make the background transparent. However, the logo is movable on the white but is a part of the same layer. When I try to add a layer that is transparent, it comes in white. I don't know how to have the logo on a transparent background. How do I get rid of the white?
thanks.

(I can't see how to quote people so I'm using blue for the quotes.)
“Open your brush panel and see if anything is enabled that shouldn't be for the eraser.”
I looked but am not entirely sure what I’m looking for.
Find the magic wand in the left tool bar 4th one down.
Click and hold until a popup shows and select the other tool called the quick selection tool. With that tool enabled drag across the white (from 1 side of document to the other side) hit the delete key. What happens?
I had some success with this....in Photoshop it looks like I have a transparent background but when I insert the image in Word over a coloured background, the white is still there. I’ll paste these below. I cropped it a bit, too. (hard to tell but it's the grid behind the word now not white. I even remembered inside the 'o' for instance! :-)
oh, and I saved it as a jpeg. That should be fine, right?

I'll think there was a missunderstanding. So i've made screenshots of the problem.

PSE11 and Win8 and I can't make erasures transparent

Never had this trouble with PSE10. But even though I unlock transparency my erasures still come out with the background color. What am I missing here?

Yes, I did that. Here's a screenshot showing the image with the erasures in PSE11 and the resulting jpeg in PowerPoint with the erasures not transparent, but white. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Used to be able to do this in PSE9 before I upgraded.

What terminal do you use? urxvt can set transparency in the Xdefaults file.
revenant wrote:

Or, if you don't like fiddling with Xdefaults file, you can simply make urxvt transparent by executing it like "urxvt -tr -sh 20", where the number represents the transparency level. However, this is only pseudo transparency, but I like it better than resource-consuming compositing.
Will give it a try. I'm not against .Xdefaults - just haven't used it that much and know only the basics ( color schemes )

Urxvt transparency with NVIDIA

This problem is a little weird, and I think it has to do with an NVIDIA setting in Xorg.
I changes my .Xdefaults to make urxvt transparent:
urxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
urxvt*depth: 32
urxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
urxvt*foreground: #1cc600
!urxvt*foreground: #ffffff
!urxvt*background: #000000
URxvt*scrollBar:true
URxvt*scrollBar_right:true
URxvt*font: xft:Terminus:size=8
Now, every time I open a terminal and drag it around, it leaves a trail. Even when I set the background to just black again. The problem is the depth setting. If I take my old .Xdefaults and just add the depth: 32 line, it leaves this trail.
However, it doesn't leave a trail if I first RESIZE the window, then drag it around. In fact, it handles the transparency just fine when I do this.

It's great to know that at least the community is still hacking away at xcompmgr, even if the devs aren't.
This package certainly solves the problem for me, but I've noticed now that any window with true transparancy* (in my case, urxvt and emesene) doesn't have a drop shadow at all. So, great, the "smearing" has gone, but so has the drop shadow that was causing it.
*Edit: I should say, any window using RBGa, rather than "transparancy".

Make a Transparent container visible invisible

helllo all,
how can I make a Transparent container visible invisible depending to an attribute,
can anyone lead me to resolve this ?
thank you all?

Hi,
Create a attribute ( LV_VISIBLE ) type of boolean in context, then bind that attribute in the properties of the TC
TC->properties->visble property, bind the attribute in visible property of the TC.
Then when u want to visible that inside of on action write below code.
Declare a node :data: n_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
then node assign to that created ( LV_CISIBLE )attribute nade ( E/G : ln_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = ' node' ) )
ln_node->set_attribute( exporting name = `LV_VISIBLE` value = abap_true ). "for visible of the TC.
ln_node->set_attribute( exporting name = `LV_VISIBLE` value = abap_false ). "for invisible of the TC.
Regards
Srini.
