I did"man wterm" and came up with this
but it's not shaded - just transparent. I googled and looked in /usr/share/docs but I can't find examples. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your image actually shows"eterm" and not"wterm". It may have some different functions than wterm. However I'm not sure how to achieve this with wterm but I am sure some here will know.

I don't think wterm can do what you want. Try aterm instead. I actually prefer aterm, though the one in debian testing and stable I found a bit buggy.

Then aterm -tr -sh 70
is nice as is
aterm -tr -tint blue -fg yellow -bg black

Added: You can add a background colour to wterm:
wterm -bg blue -sh -tr

Thanks. I'll try it in a few minutes.

Also, have a look at this thread

there's quite a few configurations/suggestions on terminal(s). I personally use the unicode version of rxvt with these 3 little life-saving lines in my .Xdefaults
that open urls straight from the x terminal window __{{emoticon}}__

full .Xdefaults here :

Thanks, everyone. I tried to install aterm, but had dependency issues. So I installed mrxvt instead. Doing a quick"man mrxvt" gave me some examples with most of the options I want.
