I run my terminal program with a solid black (non-transparent) background. I'm not into distracting wallpapers or background photos.
There are times when I need to monitor programs in windows behind the one I'm working in, but I can't see them.
Why do background windows have semi-transparent title bars in Unity? The foreground window is entirely opaque, but as soon it loses focus, it becomes transparent. It's as though Unity/Gnome are configured to make background titlebars transparent to indicate they are not on top instead of greying them.
Compiz? Unity? Video Card Driver? X.org?
Is there a setting to change this?
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
If you have ever worked with a designer who likes to merge layers, or uses Photoshop's Layer Properties to make an image appear transparent over its background then you probably know the pain of having the make something like this … [ Continue ]

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.
I am developing a simple Swing application using Matisse, NetBeans GUI Builder. I am facing the same problem in all of my windows.
(I updated the code so it is working like expected)
Here's my code and I simply cannot figure out why my top level window doesn't become transparent.
xwininfo says that windows has 32 Bit depth. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and if I call .set_opacity(.5) on the window itself, it will become transparent. But all the content of the window too.
I am using a viewpager to swipe amongst fragments in my app. I define the background in the XML, so
android:background="@drawable/bg_final"
If I use a simple background color, my app works very smooth. If I use it with this background image, fps decreases and my app becomes only passable. It is not slow, just not so smooth, however on weaker devices it could work laggy.
