Hi fellow gentoo'ers
I patched transset so that it doesn't wait for you to click on a window to make it transparent. Instead it makes the window where the cursor currently is transparent. Bind this to a key or mouse-button and you have really easy access to transparent windowses.
I'm planning on adding an increase/decrease-option aswell, than that could be bound to the scrollwheel. But school is starting so I don't know if I have time to. I was also thinking about selecting windowses by name and id but I see that there are already several patches doing this.
Anyways get it from www.forchheimer.se/transset-df/

I've made some updates to the program.
added flags:
--inc/dec increase/decrease opacity
--max/min set borders if you for instance don't want to be able to decrease to 0
--name select window by name (yep, added it after all for completeness)
--id select window by id
I don't really have any more ideas of what could be added, if you have any just tell me, or code it or whatever. I had an idea of having a config file with preffered flags for windowses with certain names. For instance:
xclock toggle 0.2
In the config would make sure that if you run 'transset-df' and click on xclock it would be the same as running 'transset-df --toggle 0.2'. It does however seem like an awfull lot of work for a very limited usage. If you think this would be usefull: convince me. |

Really nice thingy, and the most important, exactly what I've been looking for,
I've written an ebuild for all those lazy guys who don't like to do things by hands:
Code: |
#Name it transset-df-3.ebuild
#And put it in transset-df dir in your overlay
IUSE=""
S=${WORKDIR}/${P}
DESCRIPTION="Set the transparency levels of windows in an X11 environment the easy way"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.forchheimer.se/transset-df/"
SRC_URI="http://www.forchheimer.se/transset-df/${P}.tar.gz"
SLOT="0"
LICENSE="BSD"
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc ~amd64"
DEPEND=">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.99.902"
src_compile() {
emake || die "emake failed"
}
src_install() {
into /usr
dobin transset-df
dodoc ChangeLog README
