I guess you'd have to build the terminal into the WM to achieve this. Other than that, you can always make the terminal fullscreen, and then there's no significant difference between the terminal and the background anymore --- or is there? > However how did you remove the window decorations?! I have Style * !Title, BorderWidth 2 Style XTerm !Borders in my fvwm configuration. You can check it out at [1] and modify it to your liking. Unless you have an AltGr key on your keyboard, you probably *do* want to adjust the key bindings before starting fvwm, or you may find yourself unable to move windows. Once you got used to fvwm, you don't want to put up with anything less anymore :) However, i3 is really good, too, if you like tiling WMs and don't (yet) need sticky floating windows (which stay on top)[2]. I've tried many WMs over the years and can recommend only those two. And I got fvwm to do tiling the way I need it --- which I rarely do --- basically just as well as i3 does.
