transset without clicking (transset-df)

[upiom]

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:
