Is it possible to make the desktop background transparent or otherwise hidden?
- by EndangeredMassa
I'm running Ubuntu in a virtual machine via VirtualBox. I have the seamless mode turned on, which is pretty cool. However, if I move an Ubuntu window around quickly, I can see the redraw of the ubuntu background quickly before it's hidden by VirtualBox again. This isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to fix it, if possible.
I see two possible options that don't involve changing VirtualBox code:
1. Make the Ubuntu desktop transparent
2. Make the Ubuntu desktop hidden entirely
Is it possible to do either?
I know that Compiz Fusion has/had a feature to do this for their cube effects, but I don't think that I can run this on the VM. And, even if I could, I don't want to run those services for this one small feature.
