How to change background transparency of xterm

Question

In terminal we can change the background transparency by changing the slider in

edit>preference>background>transparent background

Similarly how can we change the transparency of xterm background

Solution

xterm doesn't have built in transparency, from what I know. You may be able to use a compositing window manager to change the transparency of an xterm window, but I think you'll be hard pressed to do it natively in xterm.

You might try cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xcompmgr xcompmgr, which is compositor only (not window manager)

AFAIK, xterm can't have transparent background. You can change color and font size but not transparency
