But wait…
In my computer, what happens when I do the above settings is that the terminal becomes completely transparent. So, that means if I open a window also, the terminal will now show not the background picture, but this openend window as background.
How do I resolve this?
I want only the desktop background picture as the background of my terminal at all times…

If you want ANY window to be transparent you can use an even easier trick on Ubuntu.
Hold down your Alt key and use your mouse scroll wheel and you can gradually change the transparency of any window selected. I don’t know if this only because I have ATI drivers and settings but it works for me.

I’m assuming this is for a version of Ubuntu
