http://chakra-project.org – Hi to all,I'm new to Chakra.I'm ok with everything except this: as I like transparency for windows, I installed the oxygen-transparent and the Qtcurve themes, but neither of them works, although I modify the level of opacity. They appear as normal themes, without transparency.What's the reason in your opinion?I have nvidia drivers installed.Thank you in advance for answering. (HowTos)

Hi all,

Since I upgraded to fedora 18 from 17, my transparent KDE panel repeatedly looses its transparency. I switch back and forth between different KDE themes from the configuration centre but only the ones with a dark background colour (e.g. air and oxygen) stays transparent. Verne, Beefy Miracle and Spherical Cow's themes all show a non-transparent silver panel.

excited for the systemd switch! a question though:initially, qgis loads without applying oxygen-transparency (so i thought, okay it is a somehow a gnome application or something like libreoffice, so i have settled the issue). however, a weird thing happens when i apply oxygen and back to oxygen-transparent style,  the transparency works for qgis!

Hi guys!

Weird transparency 5 weeks 5 days ago

Hi!I've noticed quite an annoying thing with the compositing in crunchbang. I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies, but the shadows of a transparent window (like the terminal) kind of makes full transparency toward the edges.

By "true transparency" I assume you are using something like transset-df rather than urxvt's own rgba settings, right?Pseudotransparency copies the wallpaper to the urxvt window background.Transset-df style transparency makes the entire urxvt window partially transparent - so this includes the text.Urxvt's own transparency makes only the window background transparent while keep

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm not using Gnome mode.

I prefer to have most windows semi-transparent by default, so I set this in "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation" (CCSM):

type=Menu|PopupMenu|DropdownMenu|Combo|Dialog|ModalDialog|Utility|Tooltip|Notification　Opacity=75 type=Normal　Opacity=85

It works. However, a browser window looks wired with transparency.

I really like the transparency effects in compiz with GNOME2 and wanted to know if there was any way (I'm assuming without using compizconfig) to have some kind of transparency in the windows. Is there something similar to compiz for GNOME3?

Well .. the question is as simple as the title.

But for details .. I really like the look of the task bar when I start ubuntu when I choose from users accounts .. it is simple and has a little transparency .. I want to have these effects on my task bar all the time.

How can I change the opacity and the color of the task bar ? Is it themes ?! How can I find trusted ones and how to install them ?!

KDE Taskbar Transparency 8 weeks 3 days ago

I used to have my KDE taskbar set to a nice semi-transparent state but with the update to KDE 4.10 it's almost completely opaque. Trouble is, I can't find anywhere any way to set the taskbar transparency. Does anyone know where the setting for that is?

Thanks, Dan.
