But that’s the bottom line: I confess I’ve run full compositing on 300Mhz machines with 2Mb video memory. It was completely impractical, but it worked. You can do the same if you want.

I don’t know why I never thought about that before. The best way would be through the Ubuntu Forums; you can PM or e-mail me from there.

Of course, if there was a post here that you wanted help with, or had questions, you’re free to leave a comment. I watch this fairly closely, and I try to respond to new comments as best I can (except for the flash crowds that come with digg hits ;) ).

And how can I contact with you? e.g. ICQ, IRC, MSN, email? I don’t see any purpose to spam your blog here, so if you don’t mind please let me know (my email) by what way I can ask for help in the future.

(Just click on the Arch Linux category at the bottom of any page.) You’ll need to build a very, very sparse system, add Openbox and xorg, then install xcompmgr, transset and transset-df from AUR.

I don’t know how strong your Linux expertise is, but if you can install Arch Linux, the rest is a breeze.

Urxvt is set to inherit pixels, then setting the transparency with xcompmgr and transset makes the pseudo-transparency transparent. So that’s urxvt +tr, then apply transset 0.8 to the terminal window. The net effect is that sort of darkened shade you see there. Cheers!
