|
|
hi there!
I got around to play with compositing and transparency within openbox these days.
xcompmgr and transset-df do a great job for their respective case.
though, using the latter more dynamic would be great.
I found out about trans-follow to be quite neat.
though, seeing its dependency on python + pygtk + libwnck-python is too much for this task.
so, I started porting it to xcb. it works quite well for now.

- how to execute is written in the file header
a link to an example video; better than any description.

half-baked features
· preliminary ignore list to skip transparency on some windows available ( programs like: gimp, gqview, mplayer, vlc, etc. )
[ checking WM_CLASS attribute; needs something better ]
bugs
none known
I wonder if there are any other simple xcb based tools doing this already?!
well, I am not a C programmer, so if you are and feel like improving coding style,
adding features or fixing bugs, please let me know about it. thank you!
have fun!
