Firstly you need to add what you want to the .Xdefaults file. (already in antiX-M7. If you are using Spartacus, you may need to create it).

eg:

wterm*foreground: red

wterm*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

wterm*saveLines: 500

wterm*cursorColor: yellow

wterm*transparent: true

wterm*shade: true

wterm*wmmenu: false

wterm*scrollBar: true


Refer to the wterm man pages for more options.


You will need to edit the fluxbox/menu file too so the wterm option is like this:
[exec] (Terminal) {wterm -T"antiX"}

Is there a way to turn off transparency just by changing the menu command? Then again if I did that it probably wouldn't take effect when I use the keyboard shortcut to call up the terminal huh?

Hi totp and welcome to antiX.

In the fluxbox menu, under terminal section, remove the -tr to get no transparency.

If you want all apps that open visa a terminal to have no transparency, you have to do that to each app eg irssi.
