aterm pseudo transparancy tint

aterm pseudo transparancy tint

[Jeremy Abbott]

Does anyone know if there is a way to set the tint color of an aterm to 
be random?  Right now I am executing the following:

aterm -tr -tint blue -trsb -rv -geometry 179x33 --font4

I know I can write a script to randomize the color if I need to, I'm 
just not sure how to implement it with the -tint switch.

Thanks,

It just occured to me that I can do this by writing a script to randomly 
choose from a list of aterm calls, rather than just randomizing the tint 
color.  I can do this if need be, but am still curious if just the tint 
color by itself can be randomized.

Make your script echo the randomly selected color on stdout, and
surround it with back-quotes, like so:

aterm -tr -tint `random_color.sh` -trsb -rv -geometry 179x33 --font4
