Hello,
I'm trying to set the background of the chat window (Xchat 2.6.4) to enable transparency. However, it returns an error "Cannot set transparent background. You may be using a non-compliant window manager that is not currently supported." Transparency elsewhere on the desktop works perfectly, xchat is the only application unable to set it. Is there something I have missed, or is this actually not supported under the current xchat release?
I am currently running Kubuntu Ibex 8.10, KDE 4.1.2, with kernel version 2.6.27-7-generic, with no kernel modifications.
Libraries xchat depends on:
