Hey all,
Now that I've been using xfwm4's compositor, I realise that I really
like having 20% transparent terminals. Of course, it's a PITA to run
transset every time I open a new term, so I decided to write a little
daemon to do it for me. Feel free to try it out from my svn repo:
svn co http://kelnos.spuriousinterrupt.org/svn/brian/transd/trunk transd
It's pretty alpha; I only spent about an hour and a half or so on it,
but it seems to work for me. Instructions are in the README; you can
set it up to watch for creation of any particular window type and set
the opacity level from (2.328x10^-8)% (essentially zero) to 100%.
I'm providing this as-is in case anyone finds it useful; I really have
no intention of offering any support, though I do plan to add a GUI
editor for the config file at some point, since the numeric entry is a
bit cumbersome at present (-1 = 100% opaque). If it works for you,
great. If not, I only accept patches, not complaints.
