    1)
    First you must use one of the newer versions(0.92 or later... Im using
    0.99). So use /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox-devel instead of the fluxbox if
    you want transparancy.

    Secondly you must use a good backgroud-setting-ap(see second link!) as
    background setter icm with fbsetbg. I recommend
    feh(/usr/ports/graphics/feh/ , but that's up to you.
    See here:
    http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq.php#menualpha
    And here:
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/fluxbox/fbsetbg.html

    I don't think you can make any arbitrary window transparant, the
    Fluxbox-graphics(menu, toolbar etc) can be made transparant. But for a
    transparant terminal you will have to use aterm or eterm...and firefox i
    don't know if it can be done. But if i am wrong please correct me!

    2)
    For the menu part, type >fluxbox-generate_menu -h for help
    This will generate the menu (if you leave the -h out of course).
    Remember it _will_ override the ~/.fluxbox/menu file, so if you already
    tweaked it you will lose that. So in that case make a backup of that file
