I want to create a dynamic desktop, i.e. a screensaver or a movie instead of static image/wallpaper as a background of a transparent terminal.
I can make this dynamic background by using xwinwrap,e.g. for movie
xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet <moviefilename>
And also can set the terminal transparent by making change in Edit > Profile Preference by clicking with mouse or by using command like
aterm -tr
(may be can be done with xterm also, I don't know.)
But I found that the transparent terminal doesn't show the movie in background, rather it shows the earlier default static image of the background!
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
