You can easily most of that with Konsole as well. right click on the window, 
Configure Konsole, use the Schema tab. Start out with "Transparent, Dark 
Background" and change the % shading and text color to taste.

But you can't customize window borders and friends based on the window 
properties like you can in Sawfish ("Matched Windows"). So all your windows 
always have the same titlebar and border. This is the only thing I miss from 
Gnome. semi-transparent, borderless terminals make your desktop so sci-fi its 
not even funny. Chicks dig it. really.
