For the transparency, I would like to make the wharf totally transparent,
except for the icons which are in each button section. (ie: only the icon
for that button will show up, and for the rest of the square I can see the
image that is there from xv --root --....) I would also like to have the
title bar transparent in some spots (it, you can see the root image on
both sides of where the text is.)
Are these possible?
