OPACITY
Overview
compton-trans is a bash script that sets _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY attribute of a window using standard X11 command-line utilities, including xprop(1) and xwininfo(1). It is similar to transset(1) or transset-df(1).
Options
-
-w WINDOW_ID -
Specify the window id of the target window.
-
-n WINDOW_NAME -
Specify and try to match a window name.
-
-c -
Specify the currently active window as target. Only works if EWMH _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property exists on root window.
-
-s -
Select target window with mouse cursor. This is the default if no window has been specified.
-
-o OPACITY -
Specify the new opacity value for the window. This value can be anywhere from 1-100. If it is prefixed with a plus or minus (+/-), this will increment or decrement from the target window’s current opacity instead.
Examples
