That's not the kind of transparency I was talking about. I just meant
that if you have a semi-transparent Ubuntu logo in SVG format, you can
set that as your background and change the background color all you
want, while retaining the transparent logo.
The transparency you're talking about will most likely be a little way
off. It requires the newer X.org X server, and a window manager (or
desktop environment) that knows how to handle the transparency stuff.
To my knowledge, the only way to do this at the moment is to use a few
hacks that are really just "proof of concept" type things. It's really
not that usable or easily configurable yet.
