Feature request: translucent windows while moving/resizing

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi

There is a similar effect now in CVS (but using a slightly different
implementation, which doesn't set the property).

To activate  this feature, create or edit

$HOME/.config/xfce4/xfwm4/xfwm4rc

and add a line like

move_opacity=50

then kill -HUP `pidof xfwm4`

There is a similar setting for resize:

resize_opacity=75

but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

The value is the actual opacity. 0 is totally invisible while 100 is
opaque (ie disable the feature which is the default)

All this obviously only works with the compositor enabled in xfwm4 and
the compositing extension availble in the X server. HW accelerated
render highly recommended.

PS: The documentation has been udpated accordingly.

Cheers,
Olivier.
