you can choose the colours background, but you can select the "transparent" so here i will tell you how:
open the xchat, in the top menu that have: X-Chat IRC Server Settings Windows and Help.
Click "Settings", then click "Preferences". Under the "Interface", you'll see a "Text box". go there. there is a check box and written "Transparent background" tick the box, then click "ok"
Now your background of xchat will become a transparent.
Thats the tip for xchat.
Enjoy!

I would love to say that I like X-chat but I do not. That's a great tip tho.
What I use for transparentcy is irssi with the aid of gnome-terminal or eterm. For gnome-terminal here is my setup under fluxbox.
Edit ~/.fluxbox/menu
Code:
[submenu] (IRC)
[exec] (xchat) {xchat}
[exec] (irssi) {gnome-terminal -x irssi}and then edit your profile from the menu. <Edit> <Profiles> "Choose the profile you wish to edit" The [Effects] tab there is a "transparent" checkbox. Check that and you are done. You can edit the contrast at the bottom.
When done, right click on the gnome-terminal and select "hide menubar"
Wala.
