SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

18       -w, --window=WINDOW_ID
19           Specify the window id of the target window.
20
21       -n, --name=WINDOW_NAME

23
24       -c, --current
25           Specify the currently active window as target. Only works if EWMH

27
28       -s, --select

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.
37
38       -g, --get
39           Print the target window’s opacity instead of setting it.
