7

SYNOPSIS

9       compton-trans [-w WINDOW_ID] [-n WINDOW_NAME] [-c] [-s] OPACITY
10

DESCRIPTION

12       compton-trans is a bash script that sets _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY
13       attribute of a window using standard X11 command-line utilities,
14       including xprop(1) and xwininfo(1). It is similar to transset(1) or
15       transset-df(1).
16

OPTIONS

18       -w WINDOW_ID
19           Specify the window id of the target window.
20
21       -n WINDOW_NAME
22           Specify and try to match a window name.
23
24       -c
25           Specify the currently active window as target. Only works if EWMH
26           _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property exists on root window.
27
28       -s
29           Select target window with mouse cursor. This is the default if no
30           window has been specified.
31
32       -o OPACITY
33           Specify the new opacity value for the window. This value can be
34           anywhere from 1-100. If it is prefixed with a plus or minus (+/-),
35           this will increment or decrement from the target window’s current
36           opacity instead.
