Konsole TOTALY transparent problem

Hi

I want to make the konsole totaly transparent, i got some help on IRC but i still got a few annoying lines i want to get rid of
http://www.drx.dk/tmp/snapshot15.png

i start the konsole like this:
kstart --type Override --skippager konsole --nomenubar --notabbar --noframe --noscrollbar

I have tried to change window decoration and Style but it didn't work.

If its not possible to remove these lines are there another terminal program that can be totaly transparent ?

well, if you in anyway can start aterm without any windows decorations(border and frame), I would suggest aterm...

try
'aterm -tr +sb'

and -bg -fg for font/background colors...

(the background color will not be used as background in the term, but in some apps lite 'top' and so)

So, there's no way to get rid of those bar short of getting aterm?

Right-click on the top border (or Alt-Space), Advanced->No Border

I could not get windows to start with the usual Override as I was able to do with a previous version of KDE, but the method I mention gets rid of the border completely. I wish I had the ability to make a border of a few pixels though. It's the fat top border I really want to get rid of.

The "No Border" setting used to work for me, but now there remains a thin frame around the Konsole window. I do not know what changed to cause this. I have unchecked the "Show frame" option on the General tab of the "Configure Konsole..." dialog as well, but I still have a thin frame left after the other frame is removed. This is with Qt: 3.3.4, KDE: 3.4.3, and Gentoo Linux. I've seen forum posts on the Gentoo forums and LinuxQuestions forums to the effect that others also see this problem, but I have not seen a solution. Advice on removing the frame would be welcome.

Right, I see that behavior with 'konsole' myself when removing the border. However I use rxvt instead of konsole, and that's why I reported that the border was completely gone. konsole must have its own built-in border despite KDE window settings, and is why you still have a border.
