I will try those. I didn't have them. Don't have time to experiment
right now (but I have time to write this email? go figure *grin*).

wizard@chamber:~> aterm -bg black -fg white -tr -trsb -sh 65 -fade 50 -sl 500
aterm: bad option "-fade"
aterm: bad option "50"
--> Weird!
Usage v0.3.6 :(transparency,no fading,NeXT scrollbar,.Xdefaults)

"NeXT scrollbar". Hmm. I'd better have a look again at the aterm
configuration.
Thanks for the help. :-)
