Lol I never saw that before, thanks. In the late 1990's, Englightenment was the WM that was used as the prime example of why Linux was so cool. Its terminal emulator had transparent backgrounds! (I suspect the separate 'background' element you need, mentioned in the link, has something to do with that?) Of course most of us didn't have the hardware required to run Englightenment and its advanced (for the time) graphics capabilities, but that never stopped anyone from using its screenshots as propaganda. Ah, how naive we were. Well certainly I was.
