You can't do this. The only current possibility is to have a solid
active background if it is different from the main background.

What you really want is to have a transparent ActiveColorset, but it
is not currently implemented.

Hopefully someone (Olivier) will enhance the menu ActiveColorset to be
fully functional, including Pixmap and Transparent options.

Mikhael.
