Hey all,

I would like to make konsole tranparent.

1. Open console
2. Go to Settings | Edit Current Profile.
3. Click on the Appearance tab.
4. Choose a Scheme.

I get the following message in Konsole when I try to make it transparent.

This color scheme uses a transparent background which does not appear to be supported on your Desktop.

5. If I click edit on the scheme, it says this:

The background transparency setting will not be used because you desktop does not appear to support transparent windows.

Is this how it is on all PC-BSD installs? Or just mine?

Is this a video card problem? I am in vmware using the vmware driver. I have wmare tools installed.
If it is a video card problem, is there a way to tell if the video card supports transparency and if so to enable it?

Is it just that I don't have some software installed?

I also have an IBM T30 with an ATI Radeon and I still see this issue on there. However, the ATI Radeon driver might not be much better than the VMWare driver.

Does any one have this working with any driver?
