I made a video with the above settings and how the terminal looks like in the end:

On the second tab, "Title and commands", under "When terminal commands set their own titles", make sure you have selected "Keep initial title" and under "Initial title", enter "trans777" (without the quotes):On the "Background" tab, select "Transparent background" and set it's transparency to the minimum (0).On the "Scrolling" tab, under "Scrollbar is" select "Disabled".And we are done with the terminal configuration.Go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager. If you do not have it installed, see here Under "General", go to "General Options" and on the first tab, uncheck "Hide skip taskbar windows".Make sure "Window Decoration" Compiz plugin is enabled (checked) (under "Effects") and in the "Decoration Windows" field, enter this (presuming your terminal profile name is trans777):Go to Window Rules plugin (under Window Management) in CompizConfig Settings Manager, make sure the plugin is enabled (checked) and in the following fields: "Skip Taskbar", "Skip pager", "Below", "Sticky", "Non movable windows", "Non Resizable Windows", "Non minimizable windows", "Non Maximizable windows" and "Non closable windows", enter this:To run it, you need to specify the terminal size. I can't tell you exactly what size and position to use for the terminal but I can tell you what worked for me:Hit Alt + F2 on your keyboard and run the above command. That will run the terminal with the profile called "trans777". You can play with the values of 67x35+220+50 to change it's size / position.To run it when your computer starts, you need to run the above commandCompiz starts so to do that, create a file, let's say "start_terminal.sh" in your home folder and with the following content:Obviously, if you want other values for your terminal, modify it in the above command.Then make it executable:Then go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications, click "Add", in the Command field enter the full path to your start_terminal.sh file, in the Name field enter whatever you want and that's it.
