fluxbox menu transperency

I emerged fluxbox 0.9.6 pre1. And i can not get the menu transperency to work. I went to the fluxbox website and followed the directions in their faq. It said that i may need to emerge eterm because i would need estroot to use menu tansperency. I emerged eterm but now i get an error message and estroot won't load the wallpaper. But i uninstall eterm and the wallpaper loads fine. But of course no menu transperency with xv.

Anyway whenever i restart fluxbox , i get an error in xmessage window. I basically says something went wrong when setting the wallpaper. And to run Estroot -scale <path to wallpaper> in a xterm to find out what went wrong. I do that and i get a vague error message saying unable to load the wallpaper. And no other error messages. So i was wondering if anyone else is running 0.9.6 pre1 and if you are could you get menu transperency to work.

I used esetroot for my wallpapers, but I couldn't get a transperant eterm either. However I did get transperant aterms.

aterm -tr -sh 50 -fg white

but i can't get esetroot to load my background. whenever i try to do in the init file, i get an error message. And when i try it from an xterm like the error message suggests. all it says is unable to load image file.

esetroot

I think I just did:

esetroot -f /path/to/file.jpg

I did that in all of the fluxbox themes.

the eterm error i'm getting is no loader available for that file format. What am i missing??

what file are you trying to load? a jpg? xpm?

im trying to load a jpg.

konsole

resize these with ALT+right click

thanks for the transperency answer. But i still can't find an answer to fixing the error about no loader available when i try to use Esetroot to load a background.
